A buoyant, music-and-dance-driven romantic comedy where a false rumor of marriage becomes the spark for two performers to discover genuine connection.
Ballet star Petrov arranges to cross the Atlantic aboard the same ship as the dancer and musical star he's fallen for but barely knows. By the time the ocean liner reaches New York, a little white lie has churned through the rumour mill and turned into a hot gossip item—that the two celebrities are secretly married.
