Added DiffLines:

* MickeyMousing: Done when Mariette and then Gaston run up the stairs of her house.
* ObviousStuntDouble: Because Creator/HerbertMarshall had lost his leg during the war, a stunt double does the scenes where Gaston runs up and down the stairs, and while he's shot from the back, it's obvious the man is younger than Marshall.

Added DiffLines:

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Everything you need to know about Madame Colet is shown in one of her first scenes. During two back-to-back scenes with her two suitors Francois Filiba and the Major, she lets the viewers know right off the bat that she even after her husband's death she handles her business and personal life superiorly well with a lot of confidence, to the point where she doesn't want to remarry.
--> '''Colet:''' (to Filiba) "You see, François, marriage is a beautiful mistake which two people make together. But with you, François, I think it would be a mistake."
--> '''Colet:''' (to the Major) "Don't be so down-hearted, Major. You're not the only one I don't love. I don't love Francois either."

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** In the opening credits the words 'Trouble in' appear and then a bed before the word 'paradise,' subliminally indicating that sex is at least part of the film's plot. It was done so subtly for the time that censors didn't notice it until the film's attempted re-release in 1935.
** Also, this:
---> '''Gaston''': Madame Colet, if I were your father, which fortunately I am not, and you made any attempt to handle your own business affairs, I would give you a good spanking - in a business way, of course.\\
'''Mariette''': What would you do if you were my secretary?\\
'''Gaston''': The same thing.\\
'''Mariette''': ''[smiles]'' You're hired.
