The Last Time I Saw Paris

The Last Time I Saw Paris is a drama set in post-war France, starring Van Johnson and Elizabeth Taylor. Charles is a journalist hoping to write a great novel, and about to discharged from the army after V-E day. Helen likes male attention, and was just expelled from college. They marry and have a child, but not even striking it rich in Texas oil can save this marriage. Charles starts seeing a wealthy and oft-married woman (Eva Gabor, who in real life was married several times herself). A young Roger Moore plays Lothario to Helen.

The movie perpetuates the myth that exposure to cold weather causes illness. Early in the movie, Helen "catches cold" in the rain and must recover in a hospital. Later, locked out by her drunken husband in winter, she walks to her sister's house with only a dress on, and catches pneumonia.
