Comment
A rich business man visiting France meets an 18 year old woman at an orphanage. He annonymously pays for her to go to college in America and when he visits the college they fall for each other. The film revolves around the song and dance routines of Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron, though the plot is fairly thin. Good if you like Frad Astaire, if not try the 1919 Mary Pickford version.
