"To use another alcohol metaphor, owning the Criterion DVD of Ernst Lubitsch’s endlessly effervescent 1932 masterpiece is like being able to uncork and savor the same bottle of expensive champagne over and over again. A love triangle among social-climbing riffraff and upper-class beauties (call it “The Thief, the Pickpocket, and the Perfume Executive”), with Herbert Marshall torn between the beautiful Miriam Hopkins and the stunning Kay Francis, Trouble in Paradise has the great advantage of being made before the Code. It’s as frank and scintillating as it is urbane and surprisingly touching, and it’s one of the rare American screen comedies to be completely comfortable with European sophistication. Peter Bogdanovich’s video introduction lucidly explains the meaning of the “Lubitsch touch.”"

Abe Applebaum still runs a detective agency out of an office set up for him when his treehouse office was vandalized. His life fell apart when his friend and secretary went missing, and the town did not use his skills to solve the crime. He turned to drugs and alcohol and has no concept of time. His parents still bankroll his detecting career, but are about to cut him off. Now, a teenage girl wants to hire him to solve the murder of his boyfriend even though he has never worked an actual crime before. Can Abe return to the top of his game after years of sleazy private investigating private lives?
