Jean Renoir once said of Ernst Lubitsch (Ninotchka, The Shop Around the Corner, and To Be or Not to Be): "He invented the modern Hollywood." And none of the director's films has had greater influence or impact than Trouble in Paradise.
With his first comedy of the sound era, Lubitsch created one of
cinema's supreme visions of shimmering romance and worldly
sophistication.
When career thief Gaston Monescu (Herbert Marshall) meets glamorous pickpocket Lily (Miriam Hopkins), their love soon takes on a professional dimension as they initiate a plot to rob beautiful perfume magnate Mariette Colet (Kay Francis).
But as Gaston gets ever closer to his intended prey, his romantic
confusion, as well as the threat that his past will catch up with him,
throws their plan into jeopardy.

• New high-definition transfer in the film's original aspect ratio
