Synopsis

When Liz Livingstone – a rich, widowed Philadelphia hostess, at odds with the Main Line crowd – perceives a snub at the Grace Kelly-Prince Rainier "Wedding of the Year" in Monaco, she single-mindedly sets out to snare an even more impressively titled husband for her daughter. Things get predictably complicated when she succeeds... and then promptly falls for her intended son-in-law, herself! Meanwhile, the bride-to-be only has eyes for a society lawyer. Things then really get interesting when Liz's dashing Duke turns out to be penniless.
