Les Nouveaux Messieurs ("the new men") is a 1929 French silent film directed by Jacques Feyder. It is a satirical comedy, whose initial release in France was delayed for several months because of objections to its portrayal of the French parliament.

Synopsis

Suzanne Verrier, a dancer of mediocre talent at the Paris Opéra, is the mistress of an elderly aristocrat and conservative politician, the Comte de Montoire-Grandpré, who uses his influence to assist her career. She begins a romance with Jacques Gaillac, a left-wing young electrician who is also a committed union organiser. Gaillac is elected to Parliament and become a minister, leaving him little time for his relationship with Suzanne. When the leftist government abruptly falls, Montoire-Grandpré's party returns to power, and he arranges to have Gaillac appointed to a post abroad. Suzanne reluctantly returns to the protection of Montoire-Grandpré.

Le jeune acteur américain Carl Erikson est la sensation du moment. De passage à Paris, il est sollicité de toutes parts et donne un peu par hasard un autographe à Paulette Nanteuil, elle-même actrice reconnue en France mais inconnue de lui. Sous le charme de la jeune femme, il espère la retrouver mais elle lui a donné un faux nom, celui de son amie Claudine André, journaliste. Il se trouve que Carl Erikson a rendez-vous pour une interview avec Philippe de Morannes, rédacteur en chef de Paris-Soir et par ailleurs, amant de Paulette. Pour le remercier de lui avoir accordé un entretien, Philippe se fait malgré lui le complice du destin en lui offrant une place pour aller voir le soir même le spectacle dans lequel joue Paulette. Carl va la voir dans sa loge, et Paulette, séduite, passe une nuit avec lui.
