 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Glückskinder (Lucky Kids) is a 1936 film from Germany directed by Paul Martin.It is a Screwball Comedy and semi-remake (or maybe just a ripoff) of It Happened One Night. (Yes, in Nazi Germany.) Gil Taylor is the staff poet at the the New York Morning Post. When the night court beat reporter is too drunk to make it to night court, Gil is pressed into service. He heads over to night court and sees a young woman, Ann Garden, hauled in front of a judge on a charge of vagrancy. Ann is stone broke and as a consequence is about to be chucked into a prison cell when Gil stands up and claims that he is her fiancé. The judge plainly does not buy it, but chooses to call Gil's bluff, and marries Gil to Ann right there in court.Gil goes home with a bride that he is literally meeting for the first time. Naturally, sparks fly. In the meantime, after he gets a look at a birthmark on his new wife's shoulder, Gil becomes convinced that Ann is actually the disappeared niece of a New York millionaire.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Star Lilian Harvey (Ann) defected from Nazi Germany in 1939 and was later stripped of her German citizenship for entertaining Allied troops.

 Alcohol Hic: Bobby Hopkins, the drunk night court reporter, is doing this when he calls the newsroom. He hiccups when identifying himself, causing Stoddard to say "I don't know anybody named Bobby Hup."

 Artistic License – Law: There are no lawyers in the night court! Just the defendants and a judge. This is probably the result of German filmmakers having a limited familiarity with the American legal system.

 Artistic License – Sports: A newspaper headline reports on college football, stating "Ohio State beats Notre Dame 2:0". This is an unlikely but possible score for a football game, but in American English, sports scores are represented with dashes, not colons. It should be "2-0".
