Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A (usually) unspecified date somewhere between the end of World War I in 1918 and the commencement of World War II in 1939. A time of women in evening gowns and gentlemen in dinner jackets mingling at well-to-do cocktail parties, rich tweed-clad country gentlemen and hard-boiled detectives who are veterans of World War I. Lots of action takes place in big country houses and small surrounding villages in the countryside, often involving (depending on the author/genre) either wacky romantic misunderstandings or cold-blooded acts of murder, both of which evolve around complex, labyrinthian schemes. In the more urban areas (usually either London or New York), there's lots of Art Deco around, swank parties, heavy drinking, and gay repartee. While The Roaring '20s and then The Great Depression both took place around this period, the rather conservative and patrician milieu of the Genteel Interbellum Setting tends to keep the era's real-world social, cultural, and political upheavals somewhat at arm's length. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This trope was formerly named "Christie Time" after the period when most (if not all) of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot novels are thought to be set (they actually cover a time period of 1916 to the early 1970s, suggesting that Poirot lives to be over a hundred years old) and when all said TV adaptations are set. It could well have been called Wodehouse Time also. The historical name for this period is the Interbellum, hence the name. Later portrayals may see it combined with Diesel Punk. In his short story Umney's Last Case, Stephen King refers to a temporal variant, Chandler American Time. Here, the action is set at the very end of the period, just before America enters the War in 1941. In Genteel Interbellum Setting and Chandler American Time the time from 1918-1941 is usually idealized, while in Diesel Punk it is the opposite, often containing critical deconstruction of the values of those times. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })See also Old, Dark House, which is usually the setting for Ten Little Murder Victims. Compare and contrast The Gay '90s, Big Fancy House, Victorian Novel Disease. Examples: |

The late Miss Marple novel At Bertram's Hotel provides an Internal Deconstruction. Written and set in the mid-1960s, it features Miss Marple checking into an old-established and seemingly-unchanged Olde Worlde luxury hotel, which turns out to have been taken over by a criminal conspiracy. The ending has Miss Marple reflecting to herself that times have changed and she can't live in the past. | |

Poirot. Like the above, the early seasons also had opening titles which were essentially pure distilled Genteel Interbellum Setting, although in being on the "murder mystery" side of the spectrum rather than the "wacky romantic misunderstandings" end they're a bit Darker and Edgier. | |

The American-colonial Philippines had an equivalent in Kenkoy, which began in 1928, and whose title character enjoys dressing up to the nines, American-style (despite it likely being hotter in such a tropical setting), and wooing women and getting into silly hijinks along the way. | |

A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino note Set in colonial Manila in October 1941, it's technically past the 1939 "deadline" as war has been raging in Europe for nearly two years by this point, but as an American colony, the Philippines hasn't yet been dragged into the Pacific theatre of the war—which begins, of course, with Pearl Harbor, two months later. Plus, the Old World, Spanish-influenced culture and high society of the Walled City Intramuros certainly qualifies the play for this trope. | |

Deconstructed in Peaky Blinders. The setting is definitely interbellum (starting in 1919, and Word of God is that they plan to end it with the outbreak of World War Two), but there's a lot of emphasis on what the working class are up to, with the protagonists being a family of nouveau-riche gangsters. As the series progresses, it becomes clear that the "genteel" world of high society and politics is far more dangerous and cruel than the world of organized crime - especially when a certain MP by the name of Sir Oswald Moseley shows up. | |

The first Laura Bow game, The Colonel's Bequest takes place in this setting. The story is set in 1920s Louisiana, and Laura's friend Lillian along with all of Lillian's family are invited to her uncle's slightly decrepit bayou plantation, where he announces that he is drawing up his will to split his money between them. Everyone, regardless of whether they are elderly Grand Dames, glamorous young actresses, or ne'er do well rogues, has a secret to hide or knows the secrets of someone else present, and it isn't long before a series of murders begins... | |

"Dead Stars" (1925), by the Filipino author Paz Marquez Benitez, is implied to be contemporarily set in the 1920s American Philippines—a time similarly stereotyped as sunny, idyllic and peaceful (in fact, it's often locally nicknamed "peacetime"), but in the Filipino context "interbellum" doesn't so much count back to WWI, but instead to the Philippine-American War, the same war that allowed U.S. colonialists to occupy the fledgling first Philippine republic. | |

The Professor Layton series seems to be set in this, but the anachronisms flow so thick, you might as well chalk it up to Purely Aesthetic Era. | |

Downton Abbey moves into this period starting in Series 3. Series 1 being firmly Edwardian and Series 2 being set during World War I. | |

The Secret Adversary (1922), which introduced Tommy and Tuppence not so long after they were both out of work due to the end of World War I. Partners in Crime (1929) is a series of linked short stories about their joint venture in running a detective agency. Unlike Poirot mentioned above, Tommy and Tuppence aged roughly in real time. | |
