Silent film actress Jetta Goudal, Lady of the Pavements (La Paiva), 1929.
Costume design by Alice O'Neill. Directed by D.W. Griffith.
Plot:
Count Karl Von Arnim (William Boyd), a German diplomat in Paris, discovers that his fiancee, Countess Diane des Granges (Jetta Goudal), has been cheating on him. He tells her that he would rather marry a "girl of the streets" than her. Outraged, Countess Diane des Granges (Jetta Goudal) decides to grant him his wish, and enlists the services of a Spanish singer/dancer Nanon del Rayon (Lupe Velez) from a disreputable nightclub to pose as a sophisticated, convent-educated singer, and surreptitiously arranges for her to meet Count Karl Von Arnim (William Boyd).
