Reviews

'In this well-researched and insightful monograph, Felicity Chaplin presents the figure of the Parisienne in cinema between art and life , concentrating on 1950s and 1960s French and Hollywood film. She covers approximately four films per chapter, over six main sections, using Parisienne as both a noun and an adjective, and writing of what she terms the Parisienne-ness of her subjects.This book is a valuable addition to film studies, fashion studies and general cultural studies. The style is engaging, and the research is wide-ranging and thought provoking.' Dervila cooke, Dublin City University, H-France Review Vol. 18 (April 2018), No. 92 -- .
