He is an arrogant, stiff and grumpy Carpathian Crown Prince who visited London for the coronation of King George V in 1911. Her name is Elsie Marina, and she is an ordinary woman from a small seaport in the southeastern United States. She acted as a supporting role in the go-go dancers in London, although she lacked grace and manners, she was reasonable. Their encounter was a blunder, but they soon fell into an ambiguity, and it was difficult to tell who tempted the other. With Olivier's graceful demeanor, Monroe's various manners, and Terrence Latigan's script (adapted from his stage play "The Sleeping Prince"), this film will surely make you feel a royal courtesy with all your heart and soul.

Elsie Marina: I got a solemn word of warning for you.
Charles, the Prince Regent: What is that, my beloved?
Elsie Marina: You know what's going to happen? I'm gonna fall in love with you. Because I always, always do.
Charles, the Prince Regent: Always?
Elsie Marina: Both times. So you better watch out. You better watch out.

Northbrook: Do I gather, Sir, that the evening was not an entirely happy one?
Charles, the Prince Regent: Northbrook, this British understatement of yours, I begin to find irritating. The evening was an unqualified nightmare.
Northbrook: I'm so sorry, Sir.
Charles, the Prince Regent: I have only one evening in London. One single evening in which to arrange for myself relaxation. And what happens? Out of the whole of this vast, teeming city, teeming with beautiful, intelligent women, you find me what? A little American ninnycompoop.
Northbrook: With respect, Sir, either ninny, by itself, or nincompoop.
Charles, the Prince Regent: Ninnycompoop will serve. She fully deserves a new word.
