Trouble in Paradise 4K UHD + Blu-ray
'Trouble in Paradise' Director: Ernst Lubitsch (1932) Criterion Collection 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray
Ernst Lubitsch’s famed touch is on exquisite display in this sexy pre-Code jewel, glittering with witty innuendo and elegant comic invention.
It’s love at first swindle when a high-society thief and a pickpocket cross paths amid the canals of Venice while attempting to con each other - and then it’s off to Paris, where the pair meet their match in their latest mark, a très chic whose fabulous fortune is exceeded only by her powers of seduction.
With its delightfully risqué dialogue, swoonworthy couture, and high deco style, Trouble in Paradise is a pinnacle of comic-romantic sophistication that fizzes like the finest champagne.

- Audio commentary featuring Scott Eyman, biographer of director Ernst Lubitsch
- Introduction by filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich
