But when she meets a charming U.S. filmmaker (Fred Astaire) there, her perspective on the world changes -- and the chilly bureaucrat soon finds herself melting in his arms. And it's not long before she's enjoying such decadent western pleasures as jazz, makeup, and silk stockings. The classic Cole Porter songs include "Too Bad", "Paris Loves Lovers", "Silk Stockings", and "Fated to be Mated". [More]
