Dream Wife
“It's a RIOT how Cary carries on!”
Clemson Reade, a business tycoon with marriage on his mind, and Effie, a U.S. diplomat, are a modern couple. Unfortunately there seems to be too much business and not enough pleasure on the part of Effie. When Clemson meets Tarji, a princess trained in all the arts of pleasing men, he decides he wants an old fashioned girl. Princess Tarji's father is king of oil-rich Bukistan. Because of the oil situation and to maintain good political relations during the courtship between Clemson & Tarji, the State Department assigns a diplomat to maintain protocol until the wedding - Effie!
A breezy, Technicolor romp through mid-century romance and cultural misunderstandings. It's a charmingly old-fashioned, witty comedy that feels like a delightful, escapist dream.
