Georges Barsac
La Locura de París es uno de esos singulares film documento en los que una leve trama argumental sirvió como excusa para presentar algunos de los mejores momentos musicales de la temporada teatral... ¡en un film mudo! La Locura de París incluía fastuosos números musicales de "La Revue Mistinguett", "Femmes et Sports" y "Un vent de folie" que triunfaban en el Moulin Rouge, el Palace y el Folies Bergère respectivamente. Para magnificar su espectacularidad, estos números musicales fueron minuciosamente coloreados con el innovador sistema patheColor. En dos de ellos aparece una arrolladora Josephine Baker, la auténtica "locura de París" a finales de los años 20, interpretando decorosamente vestida lo que sólo en escena y en las fotos promociónales dejaba muy poco a la imaginación.
