This romantic musical comedy is set in Paris in 1929 and filled with delightful, witty Cole Porter songs, including:

The story takes place one summer evening in Baron Rommer’s elegant penthouse suite at the Hotel Ritz. The baron and his butler switch identities so that the butler can pursue a woman he believes is a lady of a much higher class. It transpires that she is actually a maid in the service of Madame Baltin, a high society figure who has captured the baron’s heart. Her jealous husband and a Josephine Baker-like actress headlining at the Folies Bergère round out the cast of this door-slamming farce with wonderful songs and dancing.
