!Tropes for the film:
* AndImTheQueenOfSheba: Singer/Matador Juan Bautista (Sellers) is posing as a representative to a rich count to fool Olimpia Segura (Ekland). They arrive at a posh resort where he introduces himself to the manager as "emissary to His Excellency Martin Aragon Bocales de Villa Banal de Guilia de Comperes, the Count of Villa Banal." The manager breezily replies "And ''I'' am Louis XIV!" It's hard to tell if it's sarcasm, as he is dressed like the monarch.
* TheFool: Juan is an itinerant singer who tries to get his big break at a Barcelona theater[[note]] 'bobo' is Spanish for 'fool''[[/note]]. The theater owner agrees on the condition that, within three days, he can seduce a manipulative gold-digger. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] as Bautista is shown to be adept at concocting and sustaining an elaborate ruse to string her along.
* ForeignCussWord: Bautista, looking for his big break, plays a song to an unenthusiastic theater owner, who critiques him with "As they say in France - ''merde''".
* HoodOrnamentHottie: Olimpia lounges seductively on the hood of a Maserati in a showroom. The car's new owner admires how she looks on it, unaware she had blackmailed the dealer out of it for herself.
* MarkOfShame: Bautista is a wandering musician who accepts a wager where he gets a theater engagement if he can seduce a discriminating courtesan. He wins her over but she finds out about the wager, and as retribution forces him at gunpoint into a bath heavily laced with blue dye.
