Under the Roofs of Paris is a 1930 French film directed by
René Clair. The film was probably the earliest French example of a filmed musical-comedy, although its often dark tone differentiates it from other instances of the genre. This was an early example of
sound film in France, along with
Prix de Beauté and
L'Age d'Or. However,
Under the Roofs of Paris was the first French production of the sound film era to achieve great international success.
