According to Schürmann, changes in how Paris is depicted can be dramatic, even during a 10-year period of time. “Early representations of Paris in Hollywood movies basically took their cue from theatrical convention. There was a change in style to more realistic representations in the fifties, enabled by technological progress and accelerated by commercial pressures,” says Schürmann.
