Trouble In Paradise (from 1932) was a very early example of (horrible) Hollywood "Screwball Comedy" (which was an irksome genre that prevailed throughout the 1930s & 40s).
I find that the more I see "Screwball Comedy", the more I dislike it in all of its smug pretentiousness.
With this particular picture, there was really nothing about it at all that made it stand out in any way from any other film in that genre.
If you ask me - Trouble In Paradise really tried way too hard to be both cute and clever at the same time. And, as a result, this caused me to lose my patience with its story's overwhelming absurdity, time and again.
Filled, to over-flowing, with petty squabbles, jealous anger, and backstabbing betrayals, Trouble In Paradise was, to me, nothing more than pseudo-sophisticated crap, all around.
Thank goodness that this vintage picture had a running time of only a mere 82 minutes
