Maurice, an ordinary tailor falls in love with a princess when he ends up staying at a stately home after chasing an aristocrat for an unpaid bill.

The most cinematic musical ever made where every action is foreshadowed by sound and music right from the opening sequence of Paris getting up. The greatest sequence involves the song Isn't It Romantic ? it begins as a straightforward  ditty for Chevalier in the tailor's shop spreads to a taxi driver, onto a train, to an army on the march and finally to the Princess in a castle, an incredible sequence where sound and vision brilliantly link the hero and heroine romantically without them even meeting.
