Passing Notes in Class: Not involving a crush, but one of Robert's students passes Tony a note insulting Frieda; Robert's wife and Tony's sister-in-law. Robert intercepts the note and delivers a withering putdown to the student who wrote it, ending with a Grammar Correction Gag. | |

Citizenship Marriage | |
| Frieda / int_60426489 | comment |
Citizenship Marriage: Frieda is a German woman who helps English airman Robert to escape from a German prisoner-of-war camp as the Second World War nears its end. She loves him; he is only grateful to her. In a church between the Russian-German lines, however, Robert marries her, so that she can obtain a British passport. | |

Those Wacky Nazis | |
| Frieda / int_697b5232 | comment |
Those Wacky Nazis: As Robert and Frieda are attempting to adjust after learning the truth about Bergen-Belsen, an ex-German soldier appears—Frieda's brother Richard. Thinking he had been killed, Frieda is initially overjoyed. He had been captured and allowed to volunteer for the Polish Army. However, she soon realises that he has remained a Nazi at heart, his wedding present to Frieda being a swastika on a chain. | |

Pre-War Civilian Career | |
| Frieda / int_6b1feeeb | comment |
Pre-War Civilian Career: Before joining the RAF, Robert was a schoolmaster at a boys school. He returns to the school when he gets back to England, but resigns because of the tensions his being married to a German are causing among the students and faculty, and works on a farm for the duration of the war. However, once Frieda has been accepted in the village he is planning to seek a job at one of the Oxford colleges. | |

All Germans Are Nazis | |
| Frieda / int_7089d02e | comment |
All Germans Are Nazis: A major theme of the film (and a timely one for when the film was released in 1947) is to what extent this true. Frieda's brother Richard is a die-hard Nazi who believes that all Germans are one and that the Reich will rise again. Frieda admits that she, and all Germans like her who knew what horrors what were going on and did nothing to stand against them, must shoulder some of the responsibility. | |

Everybody Smokes | |
| Frieda / int_71105dfc | comment |
Everybody Smokes: Purely as an artifact of when the was made and is set—the last year of WWII and the immediate post-war period—almost every adult character smokes. However, it can be a little jarring for modern viewers to see people smoking in an already smoke-filled cinema with children present. | |

Sociopathic Soldier | |
| Frieda / int_ce70175b | comment |
Sociopathic Soldier: Frieda's brother Richard. A former German soldier, he had been captured and allowed to volunteer for the Polish Army. However, he is still an unrepentant Nazi, who believes that Germans will band together and forge a new Reich. However, having been fighting his entire adult life, he has no interest in or use for peace, and delivers an angry rant to Frieda about how he wants to see the war continue forever. | |

Wartime Wedding: Opens with Robert and Frieda being married by a Polish priest in a bombed out church between the Russian-German lines in Poland in 1945. The flashback to Alan and Judy's wedding in 1940 also counts, with both the groom and the best man dressed in RAF uniform. | |
