About
Overwhelmed by her suffocating schedule, touring European princess Ann takes off for a night while in Rome. When a sedative she took from her doctor kicks in, however, she falls asleep on a park bench and is found by an American reporter, Joe Bradley, who takes her back to his apartment for safety. At work the next morning, Joe finds out Ann's regal identity and bets his editor he can get exclusive interview with her, but romance soon gets in the way.

Faith in Friendship Among Nations
Reporter
And what, in the opinion of Your Highness, is the outlook for friendship among nations?
Princess Ann
I have every faith in it... as I have faith in relations between people.
Joe Bradley
May I say, speaking for my own... press service: we believe Your Highness's faith will not be unjustified.
Princess Ann
I am so glad to hear you say it.
Another reporter
Which of the cities visited did Your Highness enjoy the most?
General Provno
Each, in its own way...
[prompting]
Princess Ann
Each, in its own way, was unforgettable. It would be difficult to — Rome! By all means, Rome. I will cherish my visit here in memory as long as I live.
A Difficult Goodbye Between Two Characters
Princess Ann
I have to leave you now. I'm going to that corner there and turn. You must stay in the car and drive away. Promise not to watch me go beyond the corner. Just drive away and leave me as I leave you.
Joe Bradley
All right.
Princess Ann
I don't know how to say goodbye. I can't think of any words.
Joe Bradley
Don't try.
