Main character in One Hour With You, which was filmed simultaneously in French (with some of the cast replaced by French actors) as Un Heure Pres de Toi. Genevieve Tobin played Mitzi in the English version, and Lily Damita played Mitzi in the French, with Jeannette McDonald as Mitzi's friend Colette in both.
The film was based on the 1909 play Nur ein Traum (Only a Dream), which had been previously filmed as a silent comedy in 1924 (titled "The Marriage Circle").
Mitzi is a beautiful allumeuse, seductive and flirtatious. Her seduction of Colette's husband leads Colette herself into an inadvertent dalliance with her would-be suitor Adolph. This nearly-archetypal romantic situation led to the coining of the phrase "An Adolph for a Mitzi", which was popular in the 30s but fell out of use in the 40s for what are probably obvious reasons.
Although the film is little known now, this character is also remembered through the now-vintage popular French tune "Oh, Cette Mitzi", originally sung by Maurice Chevalier.
