"In this irresistibly sweet romance," according to the Guthrie, "a radiant young princess is on a widely publicized European tour. When the demands of her official duties and rigorous schedule become too much to bear, she sneaks away to explore the Eternal City on her own. Disguising herself as a commoner and employing a fictitious name, she meets an American newspaper reporter who feigns ignorance of her true identity to land an exclusive story. But his plan crumbles as the couple tour one of the world's most romantic cities and find themselves falling in love."

LeFebvre (costume designer), Donald Holder (lighting designer), Scott W. Edwards (sound designer), Wendell K.
