PARIS QUI DORT represented a delightfully entertaining feature debut for the young René Clair. Also known as THE CRAZY RAY, Clair's 1924 film humorously combines the new art of the cinema with other modern symbols: the airplane and the Eiffel Tower. Again, Clair re-edited the film in the '50s to the concise featurette presented here as AT 3:25. The pilot is actor Albert Prejean, who would later play the lead character Albert in UNDER THE ROOFS OF PARIS.
