A Thief in Paradise is a 1925 American silent drama film produced by Samuel Goldwyn, directed by George Fitzmaurice, and adapted by Frances Marion from Leonard Merrick's 1900 novel The Worldlings.

Co-star Charles Youree plays the role of Philip Jardine, the wayward son of a San Francisco millionaire.

After his death, Aileen Pringle playing the role of Rosa Carmino, informs Blake that she has a letter from Jardine's wealthy father, urging him to return to San Francisco.

As the movie ends, the elder Jardine improbably accepts Blake as his step son and Carmino returns to her native island.

Now this may be wandering away from the narrative, but who will say such a game lacks interest?”[2]The director, George Fitzmaurice, said in an interview after the movie was completed, that he was surprised at the athleticism of brunettes compared to blondes whom he had long regarded as athletically superior to dark haired women.
