Glück und Liebe in Monaco is a Swiss - Liechtenstein film by Hermann Leitner from 1959. The story told is fictitious.

action

A dream comes true for the English orphan Lindy: She is personally invited by the Prince to the Palace of Monaco to give her kitten to the little Princess Caroline . A German magazine smells a moving story and sends reporter Claus Hohberg to the Principality. The stewardess Jacqueline travels with him to look after the child during their stay. In addition, at the instigation of the editors, the good-looking young lady should be effectively incorporated into the reporting and - if possible - turn the prince's head in a scandalous manner.

But the events on site are anything but exciting, so that Hohberg can provide his editor-in-chief with little more than banal stories. So Lindy actually meets the royal couple and their daughter in the palace garden. Frank Sinatra is also spotted on a visit.

Hohberg increasingly takes pleasure in his travel companion and becomes jealous as soon as Jacqueline smiles at other men. He falls in love with her and spends entertaining hours with her on the Côte d'Azur . The pain of parting on the journey home is correspondingly great.

backgrounds

The film is not a feature film in the classic sense. The framework plot was needed so that the dwarf state could show its positive side and operate tourism advertising. The royal family appears several times and gives small insights into their private life.

Reviews

“An English orphan is allowed to travel to Monte Carlo, to visit the city and to give his kitten to the royal family. Weird, mindlessly cobbled together story without cinematic ambitions, which was obviously concocted primarily for advertising purposes tourism, casino, car brands. "

- Lexicon of International Films

"Germaine Damar likes two brilliantly photographed dance studies with John Schapar, Claus Biederstaedt as a magazine reporter and a happy, successful man."

- Rheinische Post , 1960
