"Have you ever had diplomatic relations with a woman?"

After his unwelcome advances end up causing the richest,
half-the-nation-owning widow to leave for Paris in search of love,
Count Danillo - who lives for "girls girls girls girls girls" - is
conscripted by the king of Marshovia to woo the lady into marriage so
as to avert a national predicament.

Set in 1895, this hilarious 1934 comedy is a worthwhile light-watch.

Maurice Chevalier, charming as always, oozes charisma, or, as they say
it these days, "his rizz is off the charts yo, for real, for real".
