While the film""s credits play, a romantic tenor""s voice sings the suggestive, sickly-sweet words of the title song in the musical opening:Most any place can seem to be a paradiseWhile you embrace, just the one that you adoreThere needn""t be an apple tree with magic powersYou need no garden filled with flowersTo taste the thrill of sweet greed hoursGentle perfume and cushions that are silk and softTwo in the gloom that is silent but for sighsThat""s paradise while arms entwine and lips are kissingBut if there""s something missing, that signifiesTrouble in paradiseThe "trouble in paradise" - soon to be revealed - is embodied in the form of two masquerading, international jewel hief-swindlers/crooks (and former lovers) who practice their deceptive occupation among the upper-class elite of European society from Venice o Paris - the two foreign locales in which the film is set.[Terry and Chuck, who had been killed in the film""s dream prologue, were the victims.(# 1-2 deaths)] The report continued with news of a missing glove and that the murders were the result of a "botched theft" two days earlier.Something""s changed me; and it isn""t the champagne.Oh, the whole thing""s so new to me.I have a confession to make to you.Baron, you are a crook.You robbed the gentleman in 253, 5, 7, and 9.May I have he salt.Gaston: (as he passes the salt) Please.Lily: Thank you.Gaston: The pepper too?Lily: No thank you.Gaston: You""re very welcome.Countess, believe me, before you left his room I would have told you everything.And let me say this with love in my heart.Countess, you are a thief.The wallet of the gentleman in 253, 5, 7, and 9 is in your possession.I knew it very well when you took it out of my pocket.In fact, you tickled me.But your embrace was so sweet.Suddenly, Gaston leaves the table to lock the door, pocket the key, and pull the curtains.He then pulls nimble-fingered Lily up to her feet and grabs her by the shoulders, appearing to be overcome with passion.The next scene, at the place of the murder, opens with he flash of a police photographer""s camera bulb taking a picture of the corpse of the victim.
