* CallBack: Early on, Clint complains about Clio trying to boss him around, saying that in Texas, men wear the pants. In the last scene, when Clio is making her AnguishedDeclarationOfLove at the end she says "I'll let you wear the pants!". Clint says "That's all I've been waiting to hear." Cue the HappyEnding.

''Saratoga Trunk'' is a 1945 film directed by Sam Wood.
Clio Dulaine (Creator/IngridBergman) is a Creole woman who comes back to 1875 New Orleans after having grown up in Paris. Clio is the illegitimate daughter of a New Orleans aristocrat and his mistress. Some years ago, Clio's mom tried to shoot herself, her father grabbed the gun, and it was her father that got shot and killed. Mr. Dulaine's legitimate wife and family then shuffled Dulaine's mistress off to Paris to avoid scandal.
Clio has returned to New Orleans bent on revenge, and is determined to socially embarrass and humiliate the legitimate Dulaines as much as she can. Her plot is complicated, however, when she meets a Texas gambler, Clint Maroon (Creator/GaryCooper). Clio falls hard for the taciturn Clint, but she still wants to find a rich husband so she can have security and respectability.
After completing the embarrassment of the Dulaines, Clio follows Clint to the rich folks haven of Saratoga Springs, NY. While still lusting for Clint, she sets her cap for Bartholomew Van Steed, rich, gullible, and the owner of a railroad.
Music/MaxSteiner composed the score.

!!Tropes:
* AtTheOperaTonight: One of Clio's ways of humiliating the legitimate Dulaines is to go to the same opera they do, stand up in the audience so everybody can see her, and look with her opera glasses towards the box when the Dulaines come in. The Dulaines flee the theater.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: ''Clint Maroon''. Lampshaded when Clio says "What a delightful name. So American."
* BanisterSlide: Cupidon slides down the banister of the staircase at the fancy Saratoga hotel, maybe because it's easier for a little person.
* {{Blackface}}: Flora Robson, so white that [[Film/FireOverEngland she once played Queen Elizabeth I]], appears in blackface as Angelique, an ex-slave and Clio's servant.
* ChildOfForbiddenLove: Clio is the love child of a New Orleans rich guy and his French mistress. She is extremely bitter towards her father's legitimate family who basically forced her mom out of New Orleans.
* CobwebOfDisuse: Clio's mother's house on Rampart Street is infested with cobwebs when Clio comes to reclaim it after many years.
* FakeAristocrat: Clio passes herself off as the widow of a French count, rattling off a long title that impresses American hicks.
* FishOutOfWater: Clint the square-jawed Texan with his cowboy hat is wildly out of place among the New Orleans upper crust. Clio cackles with laughter when he orders some fancy dish at a hoity-toity restaurant, and then asks for ketchup.
* GoldDigger: Clio lusts for Clint but states quite plainly that eventually, she wants to find a rich guy to marry to give her security.
* GorgeousPeriodDress: Clio dresses to impress, in a series of fancy, ornate, frilly Victorian outfits.
* GunStruggle: In the backstory. It seems that Clio's mother tried to shoot herself, her father grabbed the gun, they struggled, and her father was the one that got shot and killed.
* HeadTurningBeauty: When Clio arrives at the Saratoga Springs hotel, everyone gawks and heads swivel.
-->'''Clio''': Do people always stare like this in America?\\
'''Bartholemew''': Well, when they have someone like you to stare at.
* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: A failure. Mrs. Bellop the [[GossipyHens Gossipy Hen]] pesters Cupidon with nosy questions about Clio. Cupidon smiles politely and says something in French, and Mrs. Bellop answers "Oh, so I'm a fat old sow, am I?".
* LittlePeopleAreSurreal: One of Clio's two servants is a little person named Cupidon. In one scene he brings Clio some lunch, then stands in front of her while she uses the top of his top hat as a dinner table and eats. In another scene Cupidon brings Clio a huge basket of flowers, which appear to be floating unsupported across the floor.
