A famous heiress on the run from her father is helped by a reporter.

Amusing in places, but tedious overall. For much of the movie I was distracted by the fact that a grown woman who was apparently kidnapped by her father is hiding from the police rather than getting their help. And the idea of calling her husband (who she's trying to get to) never even comes up. It seems very bizarre that it won all the Oscars it did; it's entertaining, but it's not by any stretch a Great Film.
