Women and Cocaine presents Kay Francis: Trouble in Paradise (1932)

Sat 27 Aug 2022 @ 19:30 · Events

“I love you as a crook. I worship you as a crook. Steal, swindle, rob. Oh, but don’t become one of those useless, good-for-nothing gigolos.”

Join Women & Cocaine as we screen Ernst Lubitsch’s elegant and naughty masterpiece, Trouble in Paradise (1932) this August.

Thief Gaston Monescu (Herbert Marshall) and playful pickpocket Lily (Miriam Hopkins) are partners in crime and love. Working for perfume company executive Mariette Colet (Kay Francis), the two crooks decide to combine their criminal talents to rob their employer. Under the alias of Monsieur Laval, Gaston uses his position as Mariette’s personal secretary to become closer to her. However, he takes things too far when he actually falls in love with Mariette, and has to choose between her and Lily.

Come join us in this beautifully historic Grade II listed venue for an introduction, then screening of the film and exclusive raffle!
