Great movie - it ran in theatres for months. Caption is a bit off: the actress is Clara Bow - not Claire. Clara was the "IT" Girl, the absolute biggest star in film in the 20's, the original "hottie". In WIngs she gets caught topless with a passed out soldier in a Paris hotel room by 2 MP's - showing us a very quick flash! Cutting -edge risque for 1927, for sure.
