Trouble in Paradise (1932)

I watched this right after Emanuelle in America as sort of a mental mouthwash (a brainwash?), and it did the trick. This sparkling pre-Code comedy classic is akin to a glass of fine champagne: it leaves you feeling giddy and a little light-headed. This represents my first exposure to Ernst Lubitsch, and I can already see what they mean by the Lubitsch touch -- there's something undefineably magical about this movie. It's pretty awesome.

Grade: A
