Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Foreign Affair (1948) is a Romantic Comedy directed by Billy Wilder, starring Jean Arthur, Marlene Dietrich, and John Lund.Congresswoman Phoebe Frost (Arthur), alongside an American committee, is sent to check the morale of American soldiers in occupied Germany. To her dismay, men are fraternizing with the local women, they trade in the black market, and go to dumpy dives for entertainment. Even more disconcerting is the fact that a prominent Nazi's former lover, Erika von Schlütow (Dietrich), is now a nightclub singer who entertains these soldiers.Unbeknownst to Frost, she's also consorting with Captain John Pringle (Lund). Frost finds out that Schlütow is with an American officer, but not which one. To hide his identity as Schlütow's lover, Pringle goes along with Frost as she tries to find the mystery man.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })One thing leads to another, and Pringle has to pretend to be attached to Congresswoman Frost, making things unfold from there. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| A Foreign Affair / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Phoebe Frost describes how she once filibustered in Congress ("I just kept on talking. The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, poems, Longfellow—anything I could think of.") In Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Jean Arthur's character Saunders coaches the title character on how to stage a filibuster, including suggesting he read aloud the Constitution in order to keep talking. | |

All Germans Are Nazis | |
| A Foreign Affair / int_7089d02e | comment |
All Germans Are Nazis: Zigzagged. Only one character is an actual Nazi, and the film is sympathetic to what the Germans have gone through in the war, but it's also shown that part of the American military's job is to deprogram the Germans, especially the children, after years of Nazi indoctrination. One scene features a boy who is in trouble for compulsively drawing swastikas on everything, and whose father, a man with a Hitler mustache, constantly threatens him with Disproportionate Retribution. | |
