The Pre-Code Classics film series continues on July 9 with Ernst Lubitsch’s suave and stylish comedy “Trouble in Paradise.”

More Info & Register

Trouble In Paradise

Since Pre-Code films are short — most average about 90 minutes — each screening will be preceded by a 25-minute introduction by Mark Tiarks, one of Renesan’s most popular presenters and a frequent contributor to The Santa Fe New Mexican’s Pasatiempo.

In The New Yorker, Pauline Kael called Trouble in Paradise “full of suave maneuvers and magical switcheroos; in its light-as-a-feather way, it’s perfection.” The Tomatometer reading is 90%.
