Based on Paris Follies, I must assume that French movie studios have their stars under contract and must pay them whether they make a movie or not. I can't find any other explanation for Paris Follies other than a need to make a movie, any movie. The plot is thin to the point of transparency, consisting of Yvette trotting off to Paris for a non-existent doctor's appointment with the purpose of getting bedded by a young hunk. When that falls through, she beds the next available guy, a visiting doctor. We have no idea why (other than one reference to not doing it lately) until we learn that Xavier had an affair himself. That's called revenge effing around here and not sufficiently uplifting subject for a movie. Screen writing does matter.
Even if Paris Follies had a worthwhile plot, it would get a Razzie for some of the most deadly=literal subtitles on earth. Can you imagine translating the famous brand name of a cheese (La Vache Qui Rit) in a French movie. I'm not joking about that.
Don't let this turkey rob you of a couple of hours of your life.
