Synopsis
This first film version of Andre Picard's stage success Kiki stars
Norma Talmadge
in the title role. A saucy Parisian dancer, Kiki begins keeping time with theatrical manager Victor Renal (
Ronald Colman
). Her rival for Renal's affections is icy "legitimate" actress Paulette (
Gertrude Astor
), but Kiki is willing to go to any lengths to claim her man. In the original play, Renal and Paulette were married, making Kiki the interloper, but this was altered so that producer Joseph M. Schenck could cast his star (and then-wife)
Norma Talmadge
in a more sympathetic light. Kiki was remade in 1931, with
Mary Pickford
incongruously cast as the oo-la-la heroine. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
