The Last Time I Saw Paris is more than a classic romance—it is a beautiful and bittersweet story inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald's acclaimed short story "Babylon Revisited." Set against the backdrop of post-World War II Paris, the film explores love, ambition, family, and the fragile nature of happiness.
Directed by Richard Brooks, the film stars the legendary Elizabeth Taylor in one of her most captivating dramatic performances alongside Van Johnson, with an outstanding supporting cast that includes Walter Pidgeon, Donna Reed, Eva Gabor, and a young Roger Moore in his Hollywood film debut.
The title comes from the timeless song "The Last Time I Saw Paris," written by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II. Already a beloved Academy Award-winning classic before the film was made, the song beautifully captures the romance and nostalgia that define this unforgettable story.
Today, we're proud to present and preserve this remarkable public-domain classic for a new generation of movie lovers.
