Charles Chaplin directed, wrote and scored what turned out to be his last film, this finely-tuned romantic comedy. Marlon Brando stars as Ogden Mears, a diplomat travelling from Hong Kong to America to reconcile with his estranged wife Martha. However, his stateroom is invaded by the mysterious Natascha, a White Russian countess who fled the revolution and ended up a bar-girl in Hong Kong. At first, Mears is inclined to throw her out but she begs for his help to get to America and he reluctantly agrees, setting in train an unlikely relationship.
