Plot

A womanizing American reporter assigned to Paris mistakes a cynical fashion copycat designer for a high-class prostitute after she receives a makeover. He decides to interview her for a series of articles, then falls in love with her. The girl goes along with it, first out of revenge as he snubbed her during a past encounter, then out of feelings of her own.

Before the release of the film, Dell issued a worthwhile paperback novelization of the screenplay by mainstream author W.H. Manville as Henry Williams, the pseudonym he used for tie-in work. The screenplay is not directly attributed as the source, but it is cited in a back cover film credit list, and the copyright is assigned to Paramount Pictures. The cover illustration features Newman and Woodward in the "falling-kiss" pose of the movie poster, and the middle of the book contains a four-page insert of captioned, black-and-white production stills.
