Line 61:
* [[Large Ham]]: Winthorpe, constantly.
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: Listen to the lovely ''a capella'' song that the [[Upper Class Twit|Upper Class Twits]] perform for Penelope and the other girls in the scene where Louis tries to borrow money. The song's about how all the girls are complete sluts.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Don Ameche was nothing but a gentleman in [[Real Life]], and apologized constantly for his use of the N-word, and for his [[Precision F-Strike]].
** Likewise Paul Gleason, who played Clarence Beeks. He could make Eddie Murphy ''and'' Dan Akroyd laugh.
* [[The Mistress]]: It's a bit part, but the hot blonde who whispers into Valentine's ear at a fancy dinner is billed as "President's Mistress".
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: While mostly a slapstick comedy, Winthorpe's descent into bankruptcy and depression comes off as poignant, and strikes hard when he attempts suicide. Swings back to light-hearted when he is revived and we realize the pitiful extent of the suicide attempt.
