British screen legend Alec Guinness gives a sparkling performance in Robert Hamer's romantic comedy set amongst the boulevards of La Ville Lumiere. Co-starring Parisian ingenue Odile Versois and featuring a suitably Gallic score by Edwin Astley. Sir Edgar Fraser, a widowed Scottish baronet, decides that it's about time his 20-year-old son became acquainted with the opposite sex. Not one to do things by halves, he determines that this must be done in Paris, the most romantic city in the world. So off they go, with Sir Edgar determined to find a beautiful, spirited girl for his son. This he certainly does but complications soon arise when he finds that he's falling for her himself!
