A Woman of Paris
It can be considered the first Chaplin feature, since it is the first one made by the company he co-founded, United Artists. Mary Pickford named it a favorite. ""Woman of Paris" allows us to think for ourselves and does not constantly underestimate our intelligence. It is a gripping human story throughout and the director allows the situations to play themselves. The actors simply react the emotions of the audience." "Charlie Chaplin is the greatest director of the screen," she said on another occasion. "He's a pioneer. How he knows women!—oh, how he knows women! I do not cry easily when seeing a picture, but after seeing Charlie's "A Woman of Paris" I was all choked up—I wanted to go out in the garden and have it out by myself."
