When thief Gaston Monescu (Herbert Marshall) meets his true love in pickpocket Lily (Miriam Hopkins), they embark on a scam to rob lovely perfume company executive Mariette Colet (Kay Francis).

Release Notes on Restoration
Trouble in Paradise
Trouble in Paradise is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1. This new digital transfer was created from the 35mm preservation fine-grain. The soundtrack was mastered at 24-bit from an optical track positive; audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. To further enhance the image, the MTI Digital Restoration System was used to remove dirt, debris, and scratches.
