Joinville Studios

They were one of the leading French studios, with major companies such as Pathé and Gaumont making films there.

[1] This was located less than a kilometre away, and together the two served as a major filmmaking hub.

[citation needed] In the early 1930s, the American company Paramount Pictures took over the studios and made French-language versions of their hit films.

In total, films were made in fourteen different languages as Joinville became a hub of such multi-language versions.

[3] While many were remakes of English-language hits, some were original stories.
