Season in Cairo (
Synopsis
In Cairo, American Tobby Blackwell is worried about the extravagant, pampered life of his mother Elinor the widow of a wealthy magnate. Meanwhile Stefanie is worried about the debauched, womanising antics of her father the Count of Weidling-Weidling. They plan to bring them together, but unknown to them their parents plan to do the same for their children. Elinor is attracted to the idea of her son marrying into European nobility while the near-penniless aristocrat is delighted with the idea of his daughter marrying into money. Towards this end, they announce the engagement of their children at a public event. Fearful of causing a scandal the two agree to a wedding as a marriage of convenience followed by a quick divorce. However, during a trip into the desert they begin to develop real feelings for each other.
