Spoilers ahead
Jean-Marc Clément, Yves Montand, a billionaire, learns that he is to be satirized in an off-Broadway revue. Curious and a little wary, he heads to the theatre where he first spots Amanda Dell, Marilyn Monroe, rehearsing the Cole Porter tune My Heart Belongs to Daddy. The scene is playful yet charged, and through a quirk of fate the director mistakes him for an actor who could plausibly portray himself on stage. To keep an eye on the spectacle and to understand the world that will soon mock him, Clément volunteers to join the production, adopting the name Alexander Dumas as his stage alter ego.
