Director: Sidney Sheldon (writer of I Dream of Jeannie, Hart to Hart, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, Easter Parade)
Stars: Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, Walter Pidgeon
Sorry, but besides Houseboat, this is the most ridiculous Cary Grant movie I have ever seen.
Clem (Cary Grant) just wants the perfect wife who will take care of him. So, he ditches his modern state department official fiancee Effie (Kerr), and tries for a princess. He wants to marry the Princess (of a fictional Middle-Eastern country), whose sole ambition in life has always been to marry and please her husband. Sounds great to Clem, but the problem is: she's a Princess and there are strange rules to follow as they begin courting. Plus, the US is trying to sign an agreement about oil with this fictional country, so that makes things extra complicated as the state department gets involved in Clem's love life.
"Ridiculous" would accurately describe this one.
