Trouble In Paradise


Trouble In Paradise (1932)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023622/]

The Gist:
It's kind of a cheeky film, equal parts sophisticated high society and tawdry sexual exploit. It revolves around a thief who passes himself off as a gentleman, who meets another thief and falls madly in love than they set up to con a young rich beautiful woman and of course he falls in love with her too. There's some very funny moments in the film, and it takes a lot of risks for a film of its time, but I couldn't help thinking that it was more of a plainly pleasant film than anything else. I enjoyed the characters, I enjoyed the unique individual touches of the director, but I don't think the plot was terribly involving.
