Wilder is here talking about a scene from "The Merry Widow", not as he states, "The Smiling Liutenant". Both are great films recently re issued on dvd and highly recommended.

There is no such scene in The Merry Widow.

I think he was talking about “The Smiling Liutenant”, but he messed up the actress name. She’s not Una Merkel, but Claudette Colbert.

Ernst Lubitsch oftentimes said Miriam Hopkins was his favorite star. Miriam Hopkins starred in 5 films of Lubitsch.

You should start by giving them a piece of paper at the start of the lecture, that way everybody can follow what you are saying as you are saying it. I couldn't follow the exercise.
