Hey Everyone! SO glad to be back online with all you classic movie lovers I watched this picture yesterday, directed by the wonderful Ernst Lubitsch and starring Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, and Herbert Marshall. Edward Everett Horton, C. Aubrey Smith, and Charles Ruggles co-star. Here is the plot summary, from IMDB: High class European thief Gaston Monesque meets his soul mate Lily, a pickpocket masquerading as a countess. The two join forces and come under the employ of Mme. Colet, the beautiful owner of the Colet perfume company. Gaston works as Mme. Colet's personal secretary under the alias Monsieur Laval. Rumors start to fly as 'M. Laval' steals Mme. Colet away from her other suitors. When the secret of his true identity catches up to him, Gaston is caught between the two beautiful women. Written by Gary Jackson {garyjack5@cogeco.ca} A very funny and very clever film. Check it out if you haven't already

Hi, Kristy! It's good to have you back. Thanks for the great review. I haven't seen Trouble in Paradise, but if it's a Lubitsch picture, it must be good. You can't miss with a cast like that!

Kristy, I'm sorry that something has kept you away for so long, but I'm glad to see you back again! I will mirror Midge's comments that, if it's a Lubitsch film, it will already be great anyway. As for Miriam Hopkins ... well ... I love her! :thumbsup:
