Marcel Carnés wonderful "Les Enfants du Paradis" was released with the English version of the title as ""Children of Paradise". What's missing from this is the notion that "le paradis" in French theatre is the equivalent of "the gods" in the English theatre - i.e. the cheap seats at the very back and top of the auditorium.

So "Children of the Gods" might have been a more pertinent rendering of the title. Particularly as one of the themes in the film is the part that low and high theatre played in the poor and rich parts of the society of the time.
