Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Count Your Blessings is a 1959 romantic comedy directed by Jean Negulesco.Grace Allingham (Deborah Kerr) is a rich lady in wartime London who receives a visitor, a French officer, Charles Edouard de Valhubert (Rossano Brazzi). Charles is ostensibly there to deliver a message from Grace's fiancée, but he is immediately enchanted by lovely Grace, and after a single romantic day spent zipping around London, they are married.Grace and Charles spend three days on a honeymoon, time enough for him to knock her up, before he has to go off to war again. Charles proceeds to spend nine years away, fighting not just in World War II but in France's various colonial wars as its empire fell apart, going right up to the fall of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam. He does not once come home, not even on leave. Finally, with France's colonial empire unraveling and no convenient wars to keep him away, Charles comes back home to Grace and their son Sigismund, aka "Sigi". Will the two lovers, who spent only three days together nine years ago, be able to build a stable marriage?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Maurice Chevalier plays Charles's uncle, the Duc de St. Cloud.

Ambiguous Syntax: Grace is fuming about Charles dating all those other women while also married to her, but her father Sir Conrad takes it differently.

Alcohol Hic: Because he is French, and a terrible father, Charles lets nine-year-old Sigi drink wine. Sigi starts hiccuping.

Cast Full of Rich People: Grace comes from money, with her father being a knight who has a mansion in the fancy Mayfair district of London. But Charles comes from even more money, having homes all over France, including a home in Paris, another home in Paris that is so lavish it's been turned into a museum, and a vineyard, and a goddamn castle. Also, he's a marquis and will eventually be a duke.

Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me: Charles basically instructs Grace to do this for herself. He shows up at her mansion and basically demands that she go out with him, saying "Now you may bathe, and put on something lovely."
