lighthearted, humorous

As one of the representative works of American urban comedy in the early 1830s, "Sorrows in Paradise" is light-hearted, humorous and full of fun. It caters to the escapist social psychology of audiences during the Great Depression in the United States and the world, and ridicules the relationship between men and women in the upper class. The delicate relationship and the innocuous flirtation are interspersed with the adventurous activities of various criminals looking to harass society. In 1932, it was ranked ninth in the ten best American films of the year by the National Film Critics Committee.

"I came to rob you, but unfortunately I fell in love with you."

"He wanted a hundred thousand francs, and I thought he wanted me."

"First you lost your bag - I left the checkbook littered - then you used the wrong lipstick - ... and how to spend it - what a shame - tell me, what's wrong? - Everything! Mrs Clay , you deal with your belongings like this, and if I were your father, I'd spank you! - If you were my secretary, what would you do? - Do the same thing. - You're hired!"
