Lucienne (silent era star Louise Brooks) enters a beauty contest despite the wishes of her fiancé, who is not only jealous but abhors beauty competitions. While Lucienne doesn't expect to even be selected, she's soon on her way to Spain to compete for the crown of Miss Europe, and falling headlong into celebrity culture of the 1920s. Dubbed with dialogue and singing after production this is an early sound picture from France, though recent restorations present the original silent version.

"Although beset by a possessive lover, by showbiz exploiters and, in a remarkable funfair scene, by humanity generally, Brooks is so sheerly, dominatingly vivacious that oppression hardly seems an issue."

Time Out"Miss Brooks is a lovely, unusually idiosyncratic screen presence but the film is something of an effort to sit through."
