LYON, France — “It,” the 1927 breakout movie of silent film star Clara Bow, to whom Taylor Swift paid tribute in a song named after her in “The Tortured Poets Department,” leads a deal between French classic film distributor Carlotta Films and U.S. restoration company Artcraft Pictures.

Under the terms of the deal, Carlotta will represent its Artcraft’s catalogue across all rights in France, bringing a collection of Hollywood classics from the silent and early sound eras to French theaters and home entertainment.
