A New Kind Of Love

A fashion designer and a newspaperman meet on their way to Paris and fall under the fabled city's spell. Paris. The perfect romantic setting for a funny, charming "opposites attract" comedy romp.

But he takes a second look when she goes from grim to glamorous in one magical afternoon at Elizabeth Arden's Beauty Salon. Will l'amour triumph! It can't miss with Thelma Ritter, Eva Gabor and Maurice Chevalier lending a Cupid a hand.
