Magazine review! (pdf format)
This whimsical comedy fuses the best of
classical love and modern humor into a truly
delightful tale. After losing the object of his
affection, Prince Albert spends his nights hopelessly
revisiting the scenes of his romance. Fortunately,
Albert’s
aunt the Duchess may have found the solution.
A young hat maker named Amanda happens to be the
perfect look-alike for Albert’s lost
love. If she can only be convinced to play
the part, Albert may have his love again if
only for a few days. Then again, maybe
love will offer them both a second chance.
