YMMV / Meyer From Berlin

• Base-Breaking Character: Sally Pinkus/Meyer is one of Lubitsch's more contentious creations. Is he a Loveable Rogue or just a lecherous Jerkass? Is his shtick as a Jewish stereotype an Actually Pretty Funny case of N-Word Privileges, or does it fall into offensive territory regardless of Lubitsch's heritage? Finally, is his Butt-Monkey characterization in this film a welcome Karma Houdini Warranty, or a misguided attempt by Lubitsch at casting himself as a comedic lead?
• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: In 1978, Robert L. Carringer and Barry Sabath claimed that the film featured Sally becoming an apprentice to a shopkeeper played by Erich Schönfelder, and meeting his employer's daughter, played by Ossi Oswalda. This does indeed happen... in Shoe Palace Pinkus, Lubitsch's first Sally movie. As this film was believed to be missing at the time, it's understandable why some people had some misconceptions about its plot.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The film tries to keep Sally and Kitty likable by having them get along well and drop some zingers. Nevermind that they're both cheating on their spouses, and their relationships to them are not shown to have any issues beyond said cheating.
• Vacation, Dear Boy: The film's Alpine setting came about partially become of this trope, partially as a way for Lubitsch to do his own take on the then-popular Mountain Film genre. It was one of several films the director set in the Alps.
