1954 film by Richard Brooks

The Last Time I Saw Paris is a 1954 American romantic drama film directed by Richard Brooks and produced by Jack Cummings for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The screenplay was written by Julius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein and Brooks, loosely based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1930 short story "Babylon Revisited."

The film stars Elizabeth Taylor and Van Johnson in his last role for MGM, with Walter Pidgeon, Donna Reed, Eva Gabor, Kurt Kasznar, George Dolenz, Sandy Descher, Odette and Roger Moore in his Hollywood debut. The film's title song, written by composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, was already a classic and inspired the film's title. Although the song had already won an Academy Award for Best Original Song after its film debut in 1941's Lady Be Good, it is featured more prominently in The Last Time I Saw Paris.
