Synopsis
Romantic comedy about a beautiful American showgirl living in London who is romanced by a visiting Prince Regent, but has a hard job holding his attention.
This screen adaptation of Terence Rattigan's play The Sleeping Prince is remarkable for bringing together two very different screen icons in Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier.
