When thief Gaston Monescu meets his true love in pick pocket Lily, they embark on a scam to rob lovely perfume company executive Mariette Colet. But when Gaston becomes romantically entangled with Mme. Golet, their larcenous ruse is jeopardized and Gaston is forced to choose between two beautiful women. Legendary director Ernst Lubitsch's masterful touch is in full flower in Trouble In Paradise, a pinnacle of the sophisticated romantic comedy, loaded with sparkling dialogue, witty innuendo and elegant comic invention.
