Directed by Marion Gering • 1934 • United States
Starring Sylvia Sidney, Cary Grant, Edward Arnold
Scripted in part by Preston Sturges, this charming romantic farce features a rare and winning comic performance from Sylvia Sidney as the princess of the fictional European kingdom of Taronia, who travels to New York City on a goodwill tour to raise money for her impoverished country. When she falls ill on the way, Nancy Lane (Sidney, again), a struggling lookalike actress, is enlisted to take her place. Can Nancy pull off the royal role of a lifetime while winning over the wealthy newspaper magnate (Cary Grant) who holds the financial key to saving Taronia?
