Folies Bergère de Paris is a 1935 American musical comedy that won at the 8th Academy Awards for the short lived Best Dance Direction category, along with Broadway Melody of 1936. The winner was Dave Gould. This is one of only four films to win in this category. It is a story of mistaken identity, with Maurice Chevalier playing both a music-hall star and a business tycoon who resembles him. This was Chevalier’s last film in Hollywood for twenty years, and reprised familiar themes such as the straw hat and a rendering of the French song Valentine.
