Get Your Man
About Get Your Man
As children, Robert de Bellecontre and Simone de Villeneuve are promised to each other by their fathers. Years later Nancy Worthington, an American in Paris, keeps meeting Robert: a taxi, a jeweler, then a wax museum where they are locked in overnight. He goes home to plan the wedding. Nancy has a car break down at his father's gate, stays as a guest, and invents a fiancé of her own. Simone tells her she loves another man and does not want the match.
