Trouble in Paradise - 1932 ***

This is one of the first 'screwball' films ever made, before the actual concept of screwball came into place. This film in a way defined the genre.

Hopkins stars as a glamourous crook, who meets Marshall, another crook, and together they decide to 'go to work' on rich Madame Kay Francis. Hopkins is in it purely for the money, whilst Marshall realises he wants more than that.

My highlight was Edward Everett Horton who always makes me laugh and always plays the same character in whatever he appears in ( famously the Fred and Ginger movies).

This movie was certainly put in my 1001 book for a reason, and I'm glad I watched it, but it's not one I would watch again.
