Reviews for Montparnasse 19

The one bright spot is Miss Palmer, who acts with the breezy air of one who looks upon drunken artists as amusements. Maybe that's the way to look at this film.

Top CriticAs a whole, the film is somewhat of a failure for Becker, but there are enough fine moments to recommend it.
