Julietta (1953)

*spoilers ahead* 

A young woman (Julietta) is engaged to be married to a prince (Hector). This is the end of her seaside vacation, which she is spending in the company of her mother and her sister. They are bound for Paris, where the prince awaits them. She is not eager to meet him, because she doesn't love him. At an intermediary stop, a passenger (André) gets off, but forgets his cigarette case. Julietta notices the forgotten object, and tries to restore it to its owner. She reaches him at the station, but the train leaves without her. André now must find a place for her to stay until she can catch the next train in the following day. The problem is that, due to a convention, all the hotels are full. So, Julietta must stay with André in his big mansion. This will lead to further complications as André brings his fiancée (Rosie) to spend the night with him in his mansion. André hides Julietta in the attic. Julietta becomes enamoured of André, and does not make things easy for him while she is there. An interesting coincidence which spices things up is that Rosie is best friends with Hector, and invites him to have dinner with them at the mansion. Of course, in the end, André falls in love with Julietta, and Rosie finds in Hector her ideal man. 

Romantic comedy which feels a little antiquated today, but probably was less so in 1953. The goings-on are a bit repetitive, with the title character provoking a series of troubles for the male protagonist, and the latter having to come with implausible excuses for his strange behavior. Overall, a rather weak film. Though not exactly disagreeable to watch, it is not really interesting in any way.
