Trouble in Paradise  — 4K 04/28/26

Some movies appear to approach perfection. Ernst Lubitsch ditched operettas for saucy pre-Code romance with this winning, hilarious look at high class thievery and honest lust. Herbert Marshall and Miriam Hopkins are larcenous high-society outlaws, preying on continental swells that can afford to be bilked for millions. Kay Francis is the wealthy widow who teaches them both a lesson in love, forming a ménage à swindle. Critics go nuts for this picture’s formal beauty and wickedly clever insinuations of sex; Criterion has rounded up input from four of the best. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.
