* PlayingAgainstType: Wait, what? The strong, hunky, ruggedly-handsome anti-hero Creator/GaryCooper is a shy, socially awkward professor of English language in this movie? There's a reason why this film is popular with many Cooper [[EstrogenBrigade fangirls]].

* LoveAtFirstSight: Debatable when it comes to Bertram's attraction to Sugarpuss. You could say it was when he first saw her on stage in the nightclub, or when he met her personally outside her dressing room.
** However, he mentioned that he first experienced arousal towards her when he saw her stand in sunlight, making him dab himself with a cool flannel, so that moment was more likely.

* {{Adorkable}}:
** Bertram. He acts like learning new slang is SeriousBusiness, talks with SesquipedalianLoquaciousness a lot (even about his feelings towards Sugar), admits how aroused he is by Sugarpuss by having to wash his neck with cold water whenever he sees the sunlight in her hair, not to mention running out of the room after being kissed by her to do the latter, too. He also seems to be so devoted to his work (or just struggles to put on a suit), Sugarpuss notes that he always has his waistcoat buttoned up wrong every time she's seen him.
** The other professors, particularly through their obsessions over their work, and their lack of social skills around Sugarpuss, slightly admiring her like they'd never seen a woman in their lives.
