Trouble for Two

Trouble for Two is a 1936 American mystery film directed by J. Walter Ruben and starring Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell.

Prince Florizel of Corovia is unpleasantly surprised to learn that negotiations for his marriage to Princess Brenda of Irania are far advanced.

However, his father, the King, reminds him of his duty and their somewhat precarious position; only three years earlier, a revolution was suppressed, and the ringleaders are still at large.

Traveling incognito, Florizel meets a mysterious woman, Miss Vandeleur, aboard the ship bound for London.

In London, they are dining at a restaurant when a young man enters with servants bearing trays of cream tarts and asks a woman patron to eat one.

The man, Cecil Barnley, confesses to having frivolously squandered his fortune and has embarked on one last silly lark before ending his life at the secret Suicide Club, which arranges deaths in such a manner as to avoid embarrassing its members or their families.

The next day, Florizel and Geraldine are captured by a ruse arranged by the club president, who is actually Dr. Franz Noel, a Corovian exiled for treason.

The TV Guide review stated "The film begins as great fun but is ultimately routine and a by-the-book mystery.

"[1] Hans J. Wollstein said this about the film: "The result is a mix of swashbuckling adventure and crime thriller that is neither fish nor fowl.
