Starring Claudette Colbert

I Met Him in Paris

1h 26m

Directed by Wesley Ruggles • 1937 • United States
Starring Claudette Colbert, Lee Bowman, Melvyn Douglas

It’s comic romance amid the snowy Alps when successful American fashion designer Kay Denham (Claudette Colbert) jets off from Paris to a Swiss vacation resort where she finds herself juggling advances from three suitors: playwright George Potter (Melvyn Douglas), playboy Gene Anders (Robert Young), and hometown lad Berk Sutter (Lee Bowman). Through a series of slapstick winter sports (see Colbert bobsled, ski, and skate!), Kay remains puzzled about George’s disapproval of Gene . . . but there’s a reason for it.
