Nuits de Pigalle (1959)
Directed by Georges Jaffé

Comedy

Film Synopsis

A nightclub in Pigalle, Paris, owes its notoriety less to its music hall numbers and more to the activities of the maharajas who frequent it.  One of the maharajas buys the nightclub and offers to make the cloakroom attendant Annie a star.  The maharaja ends up taking her to his home country, returning the nightclub to its original owner.
