Meyer from Berlin (Meyer aus Berlin) is a 1919 German comedic bergfilm (mountain movie), directed by and starring Ernst Lubitsch. It was the last appearance of Lubitsch's character Sally, a Jewish man ('Sally' was a fairly common nickname for Solomon at the time) who was an (occasionally bumbling) trickster and ladies man.The plot sees Sally pretending to be sick as an excuse to get away from his wife Paula (Ethel Orff) and go on a vacation in the Austrian Alps. He accidentally travels to the Bavarian Alps instead, but doesn't let that stop him and soon finds himself flirting with other women. He forms a particular bond with Kitty (Trude Troll), a fellow Berlinian tourist wanting to spend some time away from her husband Harry (Heinz Landsmann). However, Sally and Kitty's respective partners soon learn about their rendezvous and travel to Berchtesgaden to confront them.The film was considered lost for decades before it was rediscovered in the Dutch film archives, labeled "Sally geht auf Reisen wiederentdeckt" (Sally Goes on a Journey). It re-premiered on the French-German television channel Arte in 1995. | |

Yodel Land | |
| Meyer From Berlin / int_137ef87b | comment |
Yodel Land: Parodied. Sally's attempt at dressing like the stereotype leads to people in Berlin asking if he's going to a costume party or assuming that he's a performing folk musician. Even ignoring that he ends up with an outfit from the wrong alpine area, he finds that most people there just wears normal (for the time) suits. Still, he manages to be fairly popular with the ladies anyway. Possibly because they see him as quirky. | |

Chivalrous Pervert | |
| Meyer From Berlin / int_30de7a51 | comment |
Chivalrous Pervert: Kitty views Sally as such, writing to Harry that "[Sally] seems pretty harmless, so I will prefer him to the others, so that they will avoid me." Both Harry and Paula disagree about the "chivalrous" part, though. It's worth pointing out that while Sally drops plenty of innuendos and does kiss Kitty, he ultimately never goes as far as actually trying to sleep with her. | |

All Jews Are Cheapskates: Played for Laughs when Sally has a dream in which the mountaintop appears at his bedside, with a label conveniently stating its height of "2800 [meters]." He manages to haggle it down to 28 by simply reaching out and removing the zeros, making it shrink accordingly. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Paula and Harry just happen to find themselves on the same train. After comparing notes, they quickly conclude that their partners are having an affair. Later, Paula and Harry end up at the log cabin while Sally and Kitty are there but after they've fallen asleep (with sheets covering their heads) and unknowingly lay down next to the people they're looking for. Bonus points for coincidentally ending up right beside their respective spouses as well. | |

No Ending: Paula and Kitty argue. Sally arrives and drops a One-Liner. ("Would you hold [loving me] against her?") The End! Supposedly the film used to have an epilogue — now lost — which tied up the story more thoroughly. | |
