Mar 23, 2021 · Prix de beauté (AKA Miss Europe) is a hybrid: partially silent but with intermittent dialogue and audio effects. It was released in English, French, German and Italian versions, with the dialogue dubbed into different languages and the all-important ending is designed around a sound effect.
— Prix de beauté was still in circulation as late as 1933, where screenings of the film took place in Haiti. — In 1974, Kenneth Anger produced an Art Deco film festival in San Francisco that featured Prix de beauté.
"Prix de Beauté (Miss Europe)" (aka "Beauty Prize") (1930) is an outstanding example of where the participants - the actors and actresses, the director, and especially the cinematographer and editor - outdo the material by a very large margin.
Lucienne, typist and gorgeous bathing beauty, decides to enter the 'Miss Europe' pageant sponsored by the French newspaper she works for. She finds her jealous lover Andre violently disapproves of such events and tries to withdraw, but it's too late; she's even then being named Miss France. The night Andre planned to propose to her, she's being whisked off to the Miss Europe finals in Spain, where admirers swarm around her. Win or lose, what will the harvest be?
