Description
The article from Films Facts and Forecasts disagrees with the idea that "A Woman of Paris" is Chaplin's favourite film because its appeal is more subtle, more ironic and more complex. The article argues that he was very willing to try, but that he was equally willing to make the most attractive films because he sympathised with the public. " Paris" made a handsome profit (£100,000), but not enough to justify the time spent on it.
A Woman of Paris (1923)
distributors preferred " The Gold Rush " to " A Woman of Paris"

Scholarly Significance
It suggests that the Parisian women really didn't make enough money. It is also true that the film has been questioned by some. But it also proves that Chaplin not only likes films that appeal to the masses, but also films that are more serious and satirical.
