Raggen (1936)
Also known as Raggen, That's Me, this Swedish domestic comedy stars Isa Quensel in the title role. The ugly-duckling daughter of a stuffy professor (Nils Wahlborn), Raggen yearns to be as pretty and popular as her air-headed blonde sisters. She falls for the first man who comes along, oily gigolo Purjo (Stig Jarrell) only to have her heart broken in several pieces. With the help of her best friend, Raggen heads to Paris to start life anew, and it is here that she meets her true love, a handsome American. A few uninhibited Parisian nightclub sequences were judiciously trimmed by the U.S. censors before Raggen was released Stateside. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
