A Woman of Paris is a feature-length American silent film starring Edna Purviance that debuted in 1923. A United Artists production, the film was an atypical drama film for its creator, written, directed, produced and later scored by Charlie Chaplin.[2][3] It is also known as A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate.[4][5]
A Woman of Paris was Chaplin's first feature-length film and his main effort at "straight dramatic subject matter" and his only film in which he does not appear as an actor; his next film was the highly acclaimed comedy The Gold Rush (1925).[6]. Years later he made Limelight which has been both described as "comedy-drama" and a "drama".
