* YodelLand: [[ParodiedTrope 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.

* BedmateReveal: In the log cabin, Paula, Sally, Kitty and Harry all find themselves waking up in a neat row in the hay. Their morning gasps soon turn into [[OhCrap gaping, shocked expressions.]] Cue lots of arguing.
* ChivalrousPervert: 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.

''Meyer from Berlin'' (Meyer aus Berlin) is a 1919 German comedic bergfilm (mountain movie), directed by and starring Creator/ErnstLubitsch. 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.

!!This movie contains examples of:
* NoEnding: Paula and Kitty argue. Sally arrives and drops a OneLiner. ("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.
* SecretKeeper: Sally's maid soon learns that he isn't as ill as he's claiming, but keeps quiet about it. Meanwhile, Sally's doctor is perfectly fine with falsifying a diagnosis to begin with.
* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: Sally and Kitty end up staying at a log cabin for the night, which means sleeping right next to one another in the hay.
