Synopsis

Innocents in Paris (1953) box art Considering the quality of the cast, this episodic British comedy could have and, indeed, should have been a great deal funnier than it actually is. Following a party of tourists on their weekend in Paris, Anatole de Grunwald's script has a pseudo-Ealing cosiness that prevents it from throwing caution to the wind and becoming downright comic. There are neat touches from Alastair Sim, seeking to inebriate a Soviet politician, and from Margaret Rutherford, as an amateur artist at the Louvre, but Claire Bloom's romance, Ronald Shiner's parade, Jimmy Edwards's indoor cricket match and James Copeland's bekilted misadventures lack sparkle.
