Trouble in Paradise
Dir: Ernst Lubitsch
USA, 1932, 83 minmins, 35mm
Cast: Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, Herbert Marshall
Legendary thief (Herbert Marshall) meets his match in fellow larcenist (Miriam Hopkins), but the love between these perfect partners in crime falls under investigation when he plans to burgle both money and heart of their latest target – the sexy, ditsy heiress (Kay Francis) to a perfume manufacturing empire. Filled with pre-Code sexual innuendo and a quintessential example of “the Lubitsch touch” that sparkles with wit, sophistication, and elegance, Trouble in Paradise is also a cinematically resourceful romantic comedy typical of its director, as Jean Renoir would say, “Lubitsch? But he invented the modern Hollywood.”
