''Adele Hasn't Had Her Dinner Yet'' is a Czechoslovakian film written by Oldrich Lipsky and Jiri Brdecka and directed by Oldrich Lipsky from 1977.
Nick Carter, the greatest American detective comes to Prague to solve a mysterious case of a missing person which turns out to be much more. {{Troperiffic}} and an AffectionateParody of Detective Genre and Mystery Stories.
----
* TheAce: Nick Carter. He rocks in everything -- in investigating, in science and in sport.
* BadassBookworm: Nick has books about just everything -- about the countries he travels to, their culture and languages. He is able to learn a language just from a book. One is titled ''Czech -- quick and easy''.
* BadDreams: Baron Kratzmar keeps having nightmares about a plant's stigma. He keeps hearing "Where is the stigma? Where is the stigma?"
* BlueBlood: Lots of the Czech characters are Bohemian aristocrats: Baron von Kratzmar, Countess Thun and Police Inspector Knight Franz von Kaunitz.
* CelibateHero: Nick is very chaste. He's ashamed to even look at a lady in a MsFanservice costume.
* ChickMagnet: All the ladies fall for Nick -- The Countess has a CelebCrush on him, Miss Karin shamelessly hits on him when he questions her, and Kvetuska experiences LoveAtFirstSight.
* DirtyOldMan: Inspector von Kaunitz. Nick's talks about Gardener's insane experiments and mentions a rose that can put a lady into coma. Gardener did it to Sarah Bernhardt and violated her. Kaunitz says it's disgusting, but then pervertedly asks whether the rose is on the market.
* EvilLaugh: Count von Kratzmar has one of the greatest examples of this trope in Czech movie history, and perhaps one of the greatest in the world history. It's really devilish. When a policeman on the street hears it, he just crosses himself and quickly runs away.
* FamedInStory: Nick Carter is acknowledged as The Greatest America's Detective, and he's friends with famous people.
* HeadbuttOfLove: Kvetuska and [[spoiler:Larry Matejka]] at the end of the movie.
* IdenticalStranger: [[spoiler:At the end of the movie, Nick's doppelgänger appears, except he's blond. It's the very same Larry Matejka who was mentioned by Professor Bocek. Kvetuska quickly changes one dashing man for another.]]
* TheIngenue: Kvetuska is a sweet girl who takes care of her grandfather. She falls in love with Nick, but their love is very chaste. They don't even share a kiss.
* IHaveManyNames: The film itself has several international titles. ''Adele Hasn't Had Her Dinner Yet'', ''Adele Hasn't Had Her Supper Yet'', ''Dinner for Adele'' or ''Nick Carter in Prague''.
* InSeriesNickname: The Gardener, Nick's arc nemesis who is the most mysterious criminal of the century. [[spoiler:His origins were unclear, and this case revealed them: Baron von Kratzmar was the Gardener's secret identity. However, this is also an alter ego. He's in fact a common person named Matěj Kráčmera.]]
* MadScientist: Played for all its worth. He experiments with plants and he has achieved phenomenal results. For example, at the very beginning of the movie his plant with human-like eyes shed a SingleTear.
* MasterOfDisguise: Nick Carter's disguises are "proverbially perfect", however, his intention to blend in with the crowd fails epically in Bohemia. First, his books had perfect information about people and their life in the countryside, but not so much not about towns. And also "everything gets noised abroad here", as police commissioner Ledvina kindly informs him. His Egyptian disguise was indeed quite impressive.
* {{Omniglot}}: Nick can apparently learn a language just from studying a book. When he arrives in Prague, he has a perfect knowledge of Czech and clear accent.
* RunningGag: Nick uses several gadgets and he always introduces them as "a present from my friend X". These include Edison, Alfred Nobel, and Laser.
* ScienceHero: Nick Carter. Chemistry and physics are an investigator's best friends. To say nothing about his friends who are famous scientists and inventors and provide him with prototypes and useful gadgets.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Nick Carter himself. All the ladies fancy him. He has dark hair and rather darkish complexion, and he has InnocentBlueEyes and his face has classically shaped.
