- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Not a false note in the whole piece. The performances, visuals and screenplay are all exsquisite."
-
"'Trouble in Paradise' is a triumph of direction and decor which could have been accomplished only by that scowling, heavy-jowled Teuton who is Paramount's chief contribution to the civilized cinema, Ernst Lubitsch."
-
"Despite the Lubitsch artistry, much of which is technically apparent, it's not good cinema"
-
"It's possible to prefer other Ernst Lubitsch films for their more serene stylings and more plangent emotions, but this 1932 production is probably the most perfectly representative of his works."
-
"This comedy of jewel thieves is itself the prize sparkler of Lubitsch's enterprising career."
