Amélie has a busy love life! She has agreed to a fake marriage with Marcel and promised herself to the Prince, but vows to remain faithful to Etienne. How she untangles the conflict (with her police officer Dad, her goof of a brother, an interfering Godmother, and the jealousy of men) is the subject of this classic French farce.
