Trouble in Paradise (1932)



IMDb plot summary: A gentleman thief and a lady pickpocket join forces to con a beautiful perfume company owner. Romantic entanglements and jealousies confuse the scheme.
Directed by Ernst Lubitsch. Starring Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, Herbert Marshall, and Charles Ruggles.

This has a good concept and good individual moments but it somehow lacks the connective tissue to tie it all together for me to really love it. Still charming enough that I bet it'll do OK.

3 stars.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Trouble in Paradise > Lovelace
Trouble in Paradise < Christmas in Connecticut
Trouble in Paradise < Intolerable Cruelty
Trouble in Paradise > A Night to Remember
Trouble in Paradise > Nothing in Common
Trouble in Paradise > Saving Private Ryan

Final spot: #1023 out of 2706.
