Paris 1928

Dr James Fox tells the story of Paris in 1928. It was a city that attracted people dreaming of a better world after the First World War - the year when the Surrealists Magritte, Dali and Bunuel brought their bizarre new vision to the peoplei when émigré writers and musicians such as Ernest Hemingway and George Gershwin came looking for inspirationi where black musicians and dancers like Josephine Baker found adulation, where Cole Porter took time off from partying to write Let's Do it and where radical architect Le Corbusier planned a modernist utopia that involved pulling down much of Paris itself.
