Overview

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!

00:08:48 Thank you, Evelyn. May I park this stuff here?

00:12:04 We are having dinner together. Of course!

00:17:05 So is our wedding. But I mean really urgent.

00:20:09 First things first. Right.

00:23:17 Jean and I haven't had a quarrel in 10 years.

00:26:39 But I hardly think that concerns the State Department. I'm afraid it does.

00:29:41 They can't have cancelled it! They've been offended.

00:33:20 What are you doing here? I work here.

00:37:44 There's something. Oh, yes, this is good.

00:40:57 No. Absolutely not. No, no...

00:45:47 Would you mind going over to the corner, relaxing?

00:50:15 You may go in now, Mr. Reade.

00:53:39 Yes, yes, yes.

00:59:24 That's a terrible power to hold over anybody.

01:02:52 In Bukistan the women do not eat with the men. They eat separately at their own table.

01:08:28 Flown by Benjamin Franklin, a man.

01:12:18 I think it's rather pointless to reminisce about our likes and dislikes when we were engaged.

01:16:10 One store much fun. Many games.

01:19:19 Hello, this is Bob. Signal red! Signal red!

01:23:30 Thank you, sir.

01:27:27 Priscilla... And don't call me Priscilla.

01:30:43 The ceremony can start immediately. I have long looked forward to this happy day.
