History Film / TheMarriedCoupleOfTheYearTwo

* ThrowingDownTheGauntlet: Saint-Aubin is deeply jealous that Pauline sets her sights on Nicolas and wants to provoke Nicolas into a duel by throwing down his gauntlet at him (or maybe slap him with it). Nicolas takes it from his hands as he tries and slaps him instead, and it degenerates into a fight.

* RunForTheBorder: The Prince wants to reach the Eastern border of France in Alsace as fast as possible with Charlotte so they'll be under the protection of Austrians. The war front is moving in said area at the time.

Nicolas Philibert (Creator/JeanPaulBelmondo) fled France in 1787, after killing a nobleman who tried to woo his wife, Charlotte (Creator/MarleneJobert), and ended up in UsefulNotes/SouthCarolina. Five years later, he's made a fortune for himself and he's about to marry the heir of a rich American corn trader, when he's suddenly denounced as bigamist right amidst the wedding ceremony -- he's still legally married to his wife, who stayed in France. Divorce has been legalized in France under the First Republican regime since the start of the UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolution, so Nicolas has to go back to his birth country and divorce from Charlotte. Which isn't as simple as it sounds, especially since his feelings for his wife get rekindled, and France is in a CivilWar under the ReignOfTerror when he comes back.

* HereWeGoAgain: In the DistantFinale, Nicolas and Charlotte are still together, this time as part of the Empire nobility under UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte, and they're still bickering.

* AccidentalHero: Nicolas, from ''both sides'' of the CivilWar. On the Revolutionary side because he brough corn to Nantes where hungry people abound, then on the Royalist side because he saved the life of Pauline during her botched AssassinationAttempt. He doesn't care in any case, as all he wants is to divorce from his wife and return to the USA. And he ends up antagonizing ''both'' factions.
