5.0 out of 5 stars This film is sheer Paradise 28 Mar 2004
Format:DVD
The most perfect, exquisite, sublime comedy ever made, this film tells the story of two thieves (Herbert Marshall and Miriam Hopkins) who insinuate themselves into the household of wealthy glamorous widow Kay Francis, with the intention of robbing her. However, complications ensue when the suave Marshall falls for lovely Francis, and she for him, much to the fury of Hopkins, not to mention Francis's two disgrunteled suitors, wonderful Edward Everard Horton and equally wonderful Charles Ruggles.Everything about this film is perfect,and the entire cast, from the fiery Hopkins ("I wouldn't fall for another man if he was the biggest crook on earth!")to Robert Greig as the bemused butler muttering over the incomprehensible antics of his employer, are quite wonderful. This film is so marvellous it could easily have been made in Paradise.

5.0 out of 5 stars A movie... and a miracle 29 Aug 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Everything's been said about Lubistch and his special touch. "Trouble in Paradise" was filmed in 1932 and it's perfectly fresh and beautiful today. Sophisticated comedy at its best. It's hard to believe that such a classic is only available in Korea. The print is quite good. Language : English, with Korean and English subtitles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heavenly film 12 Mar 2011
Format:DVD
I first saw this delightful film about foty years ago, and it is still as entrancing after all these years.

Herbert Marshall and Miriam Hopkins are two thieves who insinuate themselves into the household of wealthy, glamorous widow Kay Francis, with the intention of robbing her. However, complications arise when Marshall and Francis appear to develop an attraction for each other. Also, one of Francis's suitors, (Edward Everett Horton) turns out to be a former victim of Marshall's, and he is in danger of being recognised. But he is loath to leave the house before they have succeeded in robbing Francis - but is it only her money he is after?

This film is a joy, it sparkles with wit and subtle sexual innuendo (something no ham-fisted modern director could ever manage). All the cast give wonderful comic performances, it is sheer delight from beginning to end.

"Trouble in Paradise," (1932), a romance/screwball comedy/crime picture, is one of the greatest pre-World War II, pre- repressive Hays code Hollywood classics. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Disappointing consider the praise from BFI.
The dialogue is not funny now , if it ever was, the characters cold but not beguiling. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lubitsch Touch!
A simply marvelous combination of wit, humour, sexiness, and so much more.
One of the very best of the "screwball" comedies ever made.
Highly, highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hitler looming behind L'Oreal's Ms B.
This 1932 film, the first talking film by Lubitsch is a dear moment of pleasure. It is a comedy but the comedy is a lot more subtle than anyone may think. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Why DVD?
If, as the "Special Features" quoted above says, the transfer was made in High-Def, why is it only being released on standard-def DVD rather than Blu-ray? Why even bother?
