The Way to Love (1933)

"The Way to Love" is a comedy romance and drama set in 1933 Paris. Francois is a photographer, clerk and all around helper for professor Bibi in his store. He longs to be a professional tour guide and wear the snappy uniform of the top Parisian guides. When not at Bibi's, he haunts the guide company for a job. Francois would focus his services not on the dull museums or places of history, but on the romantic allure of gay Paree. At night time, he shares makeshift rooms with other carefree souls atop a building that is managed by Pierre. They have a communal evening dinner together. Each contributes to the repast in his or her own way. Francois provides the meat and vegetables. But, when he rescues Madeleine who is the ward of a mean carnival knife-thrower, it changes the lives of the rooftop Bohemian community.
