Those Three French Girls

About This Movie

Those Three French Girls, a 1930 comedy, has a quirky charm that’s hard to shake off. The plot revolves around an Englishman who gets tangled up in the lives of three women facing eviction, which leads to a series of misadventures that are both hilarious and a bit chaotic. The pacing is brisk, reflecting the era’s comedic style, and there's a certain lightness in the performances that keeps it engaging. What stands out is how the film captures the mischief and absurdity of its premise, often using practical effects that feel refreshingly naive by today’s standards. It’s a snapshot of comic storytelling that doesn't take itself too seriously and revels in its own silliness.

Those Three French Girls is quite scarce in physical formats, with few prints circulating among collectors. The film's comedic style and its place in the early sound era make it a curious piece for anyone interested in the development of comedy in cinema. Many collectors appreciate its unique charm despite the anonymity of its director, and it often surfaces in discussions about early pre-code films that exemplify the playful irreverence of the time.
