Trouble in Paradise

One of Ernst Lubitsch's finest comedies can now be seen for the timeless treasure that it is. Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis and Herbert Marshall star in the story of a love triangle between two thieves and the beautiful perfume executive they plan to rob.

"It is a comedy for three characters, plus comic relief in supporting roles. Herbert Marshall plays a gentleman jewel thief, Miriam Hopkins plays the con-woman who adores him, and Kay Francis is the rich widow who thinks she can buy him but is content to rent him for a while."-Roger Ebert

Also starring Edward Everett Horton, Charles Ruggles, C. Aubrey Smith and Robert Greig.

Selected for the Library of Congress National Film Registry of American Film.
