doesn't hear dialogue like this anymore! Brilliant writing: witty, caustic, and surprisingly political.
"Trouble in Paradise" is a well-paced comedy about a Pink Panther like thief who, one night, meets his match. The always excellent Herbert Marshall teams up with Miriam Hopkins and all is well until the femme fatale, Kay Francis (Hollywood's greatest '30-'36 star), sashays into the picture.
No, doesn't sound like much, does it? But the ingredients of a soufflé aren't, either. In the master hands of Lubitsch, we are transported to a world of beautiful sets, sparkling dialogue, beautiful people--- and yes, more than a few spoonfuls of truth along the way.
Highest recommendation. Kanopy features it--- free, from this library service!

So we watched it last night.
A pleasant evening... but no Ninochka.
Lubitsch touches like the romantic talk while the gondola of garbage sweeps by? Priceless.
Quite a lengthy rap sheet; 74 directed films with a lot of biggies casted.
These mothy old suckers don't see much exposure these days. Too bad; a lot of history here as well as film. Different kinds of stories; some into remakes, but not many. Most now archived.
