Griffith (PATHE) m "NEW YORK AMERICAN"— Regina Crewe. 'Director Edward H. Griffith has turned in a fine, workmanlike job in his screen version of 'Paris Bound,' which is getting a big hand from this week's audience at the Paramount Theatre." "THE NEW YORK TIMES"— Mordaunt Hall. "A praiseworthy adaptation of Philip Barry's clever play, 'Paris Bound.' Mr. Griffith achieves some splendid cinematic turns and twists." "NEW YORK HERALD-TRIBUNE"— Richard Watts, Jr. ' 'Paris Bound' is one of the few provocative motion pictures. It is always intelligent and theatrically shrewd." "THE WORLD"— Quinn Martin. ''The essence of the Barry idea has been retained, and therein lies the picture's superiority over so many films which have set out to recapture the spirit and meaning of successful stage plays." 1111 m "DAILY MIRROR"— Bland Johaneson. "Some of the nicest direction in the movies is apparent in the deft transfer of this sophisticated domestic drama to the screen. 'Paris Bound' is a big town movie . . . 'Paris Bound' demonstrates some of the very best acting and direction the talkers have yet achieved." "FILM DAILY" "High class, domestic light drama, of real merit in production, excellently played and intelligently directed." "THE NEW YORKER" " 'Paris Bound' which appeared at the Paramount, remains essentially the wise and urbane comedy that Philip Barry wrote for the stage. The result is a pleasant and civilized comedy, well worth your time."
