An old musical from Coward set during the Napoleonic War though it could have been modern -a dodgy French sends his ward to romance a rich idiot. This is an album version with Noel playing the dodgy French and Richard Burton as the rich idiot. I think we're meant to find it charming when the French guy has feelings for the girl in that Gigi like incestuous way. The songs are not to my taste but the gold digging stuff is fun.
Louis Hayward was in the original production. Richard Burton's part isn't very big here.
