* In ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'', because Lt. Aldo and his men don't know enough German to replace the spies originally chosen to attend a Nazi movie premiere, they decide they can use the limited Italian that they know to pass for an Italian film crew accompanying the German actress turned [[TheMole Allied mole]] instead. The actress says that this ''might'' work, since most Germans don't have a good ear for Italian, and thus won't recognize that it's being spoken imperfectly. So the plan becomes for Aldo and company to stay mostly silent, mumble a little bit of Italian when needed, and let the germans ignore them. Naturally the first Nazi they're introduced to is the CunningLinguist Colonel Hans Landa, who greets them in perfect Italian. (Then again, their accents are so comically, ridiculously bad, it's debatable how much actual knowledge of Italian would be needed to figure out that they were imposters.)
