Jack Oakie and Mischa Auer save the picture.

It's a fairly routine and subordinate role and, apart from the aria, almost any Hollywood actress with a good voice could have filled it acceptably.

Audience Reviews for That Girl from Paris
½
Typical 30's silliness with Lily singing prettily, Lucy lending funny bitchy support and Oakie, Auer and Jenks a daffy trio.
