## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

It seems Laurence Olivier thought he could direct himself and Marilyn Monroe in a charming rom-com. During a London visit, Elsie Marina, a chorus girl, is invited to dine with Charles, a visiting Balkan Prince. It's probably only funny now to consider the off-screen drama.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful, tender
