'Trouble In Paradise'

Trouble in Paradise was released in 1932, before the Motion Picture Picture Code was put into effect in 1935. At that time, the film -- seemingly harmless today -- was forever taken out of production until 1968 due to supposed sexual innuendo (which is probably lost on me considering I'm desynthesized to everything) when the modern MPAA rating system was installed.

This, consequently, is utterly incomprehensible today. Imagine a film just disappearing due to its content in the Internet age. It could never, ever happen.

The other interesting note from this film is that star Herbert Marshall lost his leg in World War I as a member of the British army and was outfitted afterward with a wooden prosthetic. Of course, he had it his entire career and was not able to perform certain physical acts and had a very deliberate walk to help hide his loss.

Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed Trouble in Paradise. It was quick, witty and quite humorous. It reminded me a lot of the feel and chemistry of The Thin Man starring Myrna Loy and William Powell.
