Synopsis by Hal Erickson

After her divorce from director John Huston, actress Evelyn Keyes divided her time between Hollywood and Europe. It was during one of her stopovers in France that Keyes starred in C'Est Arrive a Paris (It Happened in Paris). She is cast as vacationing heiress Pat, who is sick to death of the sightseeing tours arranged by her uncle (Paul Faivre). During one such excursion, she enjoys a romance with Russian prince Vlad (Henri Vidal). What Pat doesn't know is that her prince is a con artist, who is being bankrolled by two confederates in order to woo the girl and gain access to her inheritance. C'est Arrive a Paris was filmed in two versions, English and French; it was the English version which was released to American television in the late 1950s.
