The Countess of Monte Cristo is a 1948 American comedy film directed by Fred de Cordova and starring Sonja Henie, Olga San Juan and Dorothy Hart.

[1] Karen and Jenny, Oslo night club waitresses, get an offer for screen tests at film studios.

They drive to the luxurious Hotel Trollheimen, and use the costumes to lure the management into thinking they really are a countess and her maid – despite having no money.

Paul is still smitten by Karen, and dances with her on the hotel's ice-rink, giving the air to his other lady friend, Peg Manning.

The police realise that Karen and Jenny are frauds, and inform the hotel manager, but he agrees to let them perform at the highly popular ice show.

[2] In December 1943 Henie signed a deal with the newly formed International Pictures to make It's a Pleasure.

[9] In December Universal said they would distribute the movie, which would be made by Westwood Productions, a new company formed by John Beck and Henie.

[11] In May filming shut down for a week as director Andrew Stone was replaced by Frederick de Cordova.
