Trouble in Paradise (1932)
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
Country: United States
Length: 83 minutes
Type: Drama, Comedy, Crime
'Trouble in Paradise' is a delightful film, full of sparkling, sexy back-and-forth dialogue (I'm surprised they got away with some of it). Two master thieves fall in love when trying to rob each other and decide to go into "business" together. If you like Hitchcock's 'To Catch a Thief' (or any peak Hitchcock espionage film really) then this will feel familiar. Charlie Ruggles and Edward Everett Horton make a great comedy double-act as two suitors of the same lady, needling each other constantly. This is a firm step towards classic Hollywood film-making and out of the shaky early sound film period.
The original 'Scarface' next.
