The Smiling Lieutenant
1931 Nominee

100 Words
As soon as he falls in love with a pretty violinist, the French lieutenant can’t stop smiling and does so at the wrong princess. Unfortunately, she thinks the lieutenant is cute, so he has to marry her because she said so; dad is on board because the alternative is his daughter will marry…an American! (Gasp). Luckily, the lovebirds might be able to part on happy terms. Girls who start with breakfast don’t usually stay for supper, if you catch my drift and if not then a swift change of wardrobe is in order to seduce the lieutenant into wedded bliss.
