Bittersweet Ending: Mary's father kills Christopher, truncating their romance, but it's implied that this will motivate her to escape her father's influence for good.

Characterization Marches On
 Under the Cherry Moon / int_479f9ad0
comment
Characterization Marches On: Yes, through the course of a film. Mary's introductory scene has her stripping out of her dress in front of the attendees of a party just for the fun of it, seemingly establishing her as a sort of The Gadfly... except that she never behaves like that again for the rest of the film, and is portrayed as the "uptight" in the Uptight Loves Wild dynamic she has with Christopher.

Uptight Loves Wild: Gender-inverted from the usual example; the stuffy Mary forms a couple with the wild and untamed Christopher.

Karma Houdini: Mary's father. Sure, it's implied at the end that Mary leaves him, but it seems likes he's getting scot free for having killed a guy (Christopher).

In Love with the Mark: Mary was supposed to be just another of Christopher's targets, before he falls in love with heir for real.

comment
Deliberately Monochrome: The entire film is in black-and-white despite being made in the '80s, clearly as an artistic choice due to being apparently set in The Roaring '20s.

Dating What Daddy Hates: Mary's father Isaac disapproves of her romance with Christopher, which motivates her to love Christopher more. In Isaac's defense, Christopher is a con man.
