The story may be clichéd--a melodrama in which she's cast as a typist who becomes a beauty queen--but Brooks is as lovely and sensuous as ever. The final sequence is truly memorable. René Clair, originally scheduled to direct, had a hand in the script."

Gregersen, Erik. "Prix de Beauté (Alfredo Genina, 1930)." Revenge of the Audience, 200?. * (United States)
--- capsule review on the web; "The last film that Louise Brooks did in Europe forms an interesting unintentional trilogy with Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl. Lucienne Garnier (Brooks) enters a newspaper beauty contest over her jealous husband's objections, wins and is crowned Miss Europe. As usual, Brooks has as much idea of the effect of her Edenic beauty, now magnified by the media, on fallen man as a four-year-old does of the effects of a loaded pistol. This production switched over from silent to sound in midstream and like M and Deserter, uses a torrent of urban noise and overlapping voices to create a fabulous symphony of pure sound. Although I would choose Diary of a Lost Girl as the best of Brooks' European trilogy, the final scene surpasses anything in Pabst's films by being the last word on the combination of sex, death, cinema and Louise Brooks."

Rosenberg, Joel. "What you ain't heard yet: the languages of The Jazz Singer." Prooftexts: A Journal of Jewish Literary History. January 1, 2002. (United States) *
--- "In truth, it is more interesting to speak of liminality in the plural, for in these transitional years there were, properly speaking, many dozens of films worldwide that variously heralded, emblematized, problematized, artistically manipulated, and, in some cases, resisted or subverted the new technology. One thinks of the remarkable finale to Augusto Genina's Prix de beauté, where the heroine (Louise Brooks), shot by a jealous lover, dies beneath her film image as it sings (dubbed by a French chanteuse) in synchronized sound." - reference to the film

Finally, there she is! Flowers rain down, photographers crowd around, flashbulbs explode.
