- Summary:
- Ernst Lubitsch's famed touch is on exquisite display in this sexy pre-Code jewel, glittering with witty innuendo and elegant comic invention. It's love at first swindle when high-society thief Gaston Monescu and pickpocket Lily Vautier cross paths amid the canals of Venice while attempting to con each other and then it's off to Paris, where the pair meet their match in their latest mark, the tres chic Madame Colet, whose fabulous fortune is exceeded only by her powers of seduction. With its delightful risque dialogue, swoon worthy couture, and high deco style, Trouble in Paradise is a pinnacle of comic-romantic sophistication that fizzes like the finest champagne.
