Trouble in Paradise (region 2 DVD)

Jean Renoir once said of Ernst Lubitsch: “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. A breathtakingly nimble and elegant examination of the perils of mixing “business” with pleasure, this gloriously adult and witty comedy features a peerless screenplay by Samson Raphaelson, effervescent performances by its stars (including Charlie Ruggles and Edward Everett Horton), and exquisite direction by the legendary Lubitsch.
