Omnibus consisting of three stories, each revolving around actress "Soraya", who in real life was the wife of the Shah of Iran. In the first story she essentially plays herself: a princess making her first screen tests in a large Italian movie studio. The film's real producer, Dino De Laurentiis, even plays himself in this segment. In the second story she plays the unhappy lover of Richard Harris, relentlessly pursued by paparazzi and separated from her husband. In the final segment she is amused by the advances of a hired "Latin lover", played to perfection by Alberto Sordi. Occasionally amusing, especially the final segment, but dated by an infatuation with fashion styles of its era. Luscious soundtrack by Piero Piccioni.
