Originally released in France under the title Le Silence est D'Or, Man About Town is set in the Paris of the early 1900s. Maurice Chevalier plays a director of silent films (whose working conditions are recreated with remarkable accuracy), while Marcelle Derien is an actress whom Chevalier hopes to turn into a film star. She falls in love with her younger leading man (Francois Perier), and Chevalier, after putting up a gentle struggle, bows to the inevitability of young romance.

5 of 5 Perhaps the greatest February 7, 2024
Reviewer: RICHARD WILLETT from KANSAS CITY, MO United States  
Perhaps the greatest performance for Maurice Chevalier, and a post-war comeback for him and Rene Clair.  They take advantage of Chevalier's aging to paint a poignant portrait of a dandy who has to come to terms with his lifestyle. The beautifully-written story takes place in the world of early silent movie making and the film is salted and peppered with gags and plot twists. Francois Perrier masterfully plays Chevalier's younger disciple. There's also a magnificent reconstruction of life in Paris in the Gay '90s.
