Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is the Night (1932) is a Romantic Comedy / Musical starring Lily Damita, Charlie Ruggles, Roland Young, and Thelma Todd.Rich good-for-nothing Gerald (Young) is having an affair with society woman Claire (Todd). Claire is married to Olympic javelin-thrower Stephan (Cary Grant) who, abruptly returning home, becomes suspicious of his wife’s fidelity when Bunny (Ruggles) shows up with two tickets for a trip to Venice, and Gerald and Claire waltz in from a night out.Being a not-so-smooth wingman for his friend, Bunny concocts an unconvincing story about Gerald being a married man also on his way to Venice. Now, both men are left to find a fake wife to diminish Stephen’s suspicions.That woman becomes Germaine (Damita), a hungry Parisian out of work, who although finding the situation slightly uncomfortable, is determined to get the job.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The couples travel to Venice (Bunny tags along) with Gerald and Germaine trying to keep up the charade as best they can.Hilarity Ensues.Although it might be strange to see Cary Grant billed as fifth, this was his screen debut. | |

Curtain Clothing: When Germaine comes to Gerald’s home, he says her clothing has no style, and that her hips “don’t sing”. To prove that she’s the type of woman for him, she strips in front of him and takes his curtains and fashions it into a gown. | |

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: The Italian police have arrested Bunny on suspicion of being a burglar, and Gerald’s incompetent valet tries to clear things up by speaking absolute gibberish. Stephen is able to clear things up with actual Italian by saying he’s ‘’il amante’’ (i.e. her lover). | |
