Trouble in Paradise (1932)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 86m
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
Cast: Herbert Marshall, Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis

Synopsis:

An accomplished jewel thief schemes with his lover to fleece an attractive perfume company director, but falls for her charms instead.

Review:

Deliciously euphemistic, pre-Code sex comedy which sparkles with racy dialogue, deft performances and is typical of Lubitsch's adroitness of touch when it comes to innuendo. The film was a kind of Noel Cowardian exercise in urbanity which would later in the decade give way to its American bastard offspring, screwball. It remains unsurpassed by its modern rom-com descendants.
