"What are you doing now?"
"I'm thinking. I'm thinking about you without these clothes."
"Open your eyes, at once!"
"Oh, no, pardon, Madame. I mean, with different clothes."

A Parisian tailor, resolved to be "a one-man French Revolution" in
order to exact payment from a nobleman, upon visiting the latter's
family cheateau, is introduced as a Baron by the defaulting customer
to conceal the embarrassing financial position from the rest of the
nobility, and ends up winning the heart of a noble princess.

Certain scenes from the film - like the opening sequence 'The Morning
Song of Paris', and the "Isn't it Romantic?" sequence - are cinema par
excellence.

A thoroughly delightful movie.
