Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Smiling Lieutenant is a 1931 romantic comedy directed by Ernst Lubitsch, starring Maurice Chevalier, Claudette Colbert, and Miriam Hopkins.Chevalier is Lieutenant Nikolaus "Niki" von Preyn, a carefree Austrian officer who enjoys romancing the ladies and has recently entered into a romance with Franzi (Colbert), a charming violin player. One day, when standing as an honor guard for the visiting King of Flausenthurm and his daughter Princess Anna (Hopkins), Niki winks at his girlfriend across the street—but at that moment the royal coach passes, and Princess Anna thinks the smile and wink were for her. She quickly takes a fancy to the handsome officer, and Niki finds himself being roped into a marriage—but he hasn't forgotten Franzi.This is a notable example of a film from The Pre-Code Era, which included much more risque humor and double entendres than films would be able to use after The Hays Code was strictly enforced a few years later.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Be a Whore to Get Your Man: Franzi teaches the staid, dowdy Anna to act more slutty in order to attract Niki. ("Jazz up your lingerie!") When Niki sees Anna again after The Makeover, she's smoking and wearing sheer black lingerie. It works. | |

Berserk Button: The king of Flausenthurm is touchy about having the name of his country misspelled. He is outraged when his country's name is spelled as "Flausenturm" on a message from the emperor of Austria. Later, he makes Niki spell "Flausenthurm" before deciding that Anna can marry him. | |

Artistic License – Music: You can tell that Colbert isn't playing the violin she is supposed to be playing. Hopkins's piano play is pretty believable though. | |
