Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Man of the World is a 1931 film directed by Richard Wallace.Michael Trevor (William Powell) is a former journalist now living as an ex-pat in Paris, because something happened which forced him to leave America. He is now making his living as a blackmailer. Michael and his partners Irene and Frank print their own little gossip sheet which circles among the American ex-pat community in Paris. The racket is that Michael and partners find out embarrassing secrets about American tourists. (Or in the case of Irene, they cause those secrets by being a Honey Pot.) Michael then goes to the target, and in a roundabout way threatens to publish the details of the scandal in his gossip rag. The victim always gives Michael some cash to make the embarrassing thing go away.Enter Mary Kendall, a beautiful American socialite (Carole Lombard) in Paris to visit her rich uncle Harry. Irene, who needs a big score to keep her brother back in America out of jail, hits on an idea. Michael will seduce gullible Mary, and then extort $10K from Harry to avoid the ruin of Mary's reputation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Naturally, Michael falls in love with Mary for real. Irene does not like this, because she wants the ten grand, and because she's also Michael's ex-girlfriend. | |

Eiffel Tower Effect: Instead it's the Arc de Triomphe in the first shot of the movie to tell the audience that the film is set in Paris. | |
