1. What a funny subject line!

The Essentials: Embezzlers. :D



The Ban Dick is something I saw at the student union movie theater back in the day (not when it originally came out, of course! ;-)), and I caught Trouble in Paradise during a Lubitsch festival at AFI in recent years. Never miss a chance to see an Ernst Lubitsch movie.



The director with two of his stars, Herbert Marshall and Kay Francis.
