IMDb profile

Camille is a 1926 short film by Ralph Barton, the creation of which is described in Bruce Kellner's The Last Dandy, a biography of Barton.

This silent film, an ostensible adaptation of La Dame aux Camélias (by Alexandre Dumas fils), was made available on distributed video in 2003 as a supplement to a Warner Brothers release of Charlie Chaplin's A Woman of Paris; an amateur film, its relevance in this connexion is based in Chaplin's nutty on-screen involvement in the project.

Appearances are also made by Paul Robeson, H.L. Mencken, Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis, Paul Claudel, and many other lights of the 1920's cultural scene of Paris and New York.
