Bluntschli

Afterwards,, left alone with Bluntschli, Raina realizes that he sees through her romantic posturing, but that he respects her as a woman, as Sergius does not.

Bluntschli gets a telegram informing him of his father's death and revealing to him his now-enormous inheritance.

Bluntschli unexpectedly returns so that he can give back the old housecoat, but also so that he can see her.

He chose to play Sergius while William Redfield starred as Bluntschli.

One night, a Swiss mercenary soldier in the Serbian army, Captain Bluntschli, climbs in through her bedroom balcony window and threatens to shoot Raina if she gives the alarm.

She tells him that she had left a photograph of herself in the pocket of the coat, inscribed "To my chocolate-cream soldier", but Bluntschli says that he didn't find it and that it must still be in the coat pocket.

The cast included Lee Grant as Raina, Francis Lederer as Bluntschli and Sam Wanamaker as Sergius.

When the search dies down, Raina and her mother Catherine sneak Bluntschli out of the house, disguised in an old housecoat.

While Raina is now unattached, Bluntschli protests that—being 34 and believing she is 17—he is too old for her.
