Trouble in Paradise

Lubitsch's sublime quickfire romantic comedy about two con-artists in love, followed by a two-course meal.

There weren’t too many directors who were equally adept at making both silent and sound pictures, but Ernst Lubitsch was certainly one, gliding into talkies with ease. Trouble in Paradise (his first comedy of the sound era) is a witty pre-Hays Code romp, full of quickfire one-liners, about a couple of con-artists who plot to rob a beautiful perfume magnate. Things go slightly awry when one of the thieves becomes romantically involved with his victim...

After the screening, take your seat at the dinner table and enjoy two courses from Opus’s delectable market menu.

This event is now fully booked.

Part of Film Bug, in partnership with and across Colmore Business District from 20-21 March.
