...Serene Highness Prince Rainier III of Monaco (he has 23 other titles) reigns over Monaco's 467 acres with, of course, Princess Grace of Philadelphia and Hollywood.

Playwrights Bella and Sam Spewack modeled them on the famed '20s collaborators Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur. Their problem is to put together a film vehicle for a narcissistic cowboy star whose IQ is perceptibly lower than that of his horse...
