Based on the play The Spell by Lili Hatvany

A wealthy American abroad becomes entangled with a spirited young woman whose impending marriage is more social arrangement than love match. Letters go astray, jealous rivals scheme, and a hastily arranged wedding threatens to mask true feelings. Through comical misunderstandings and candid confessions, deceptions unravel and partnerships realign, clearing the way for a pairing based on affection rather than convenience.

Surviving music manuscripts by Cole Porter use the title Once Upon a Time, while Guy Bolton’s script bears the title Ever Yours.
