 The DVD Journal | Reviews : Trouble in Paradise: The Criterion Collection
However, his role as secretary has as much to with his business skills as it does the fact that she is a widow and is more interested in him than her two suitors.
The two competing gentlemen are the older, incommunicative Major (Charlie Ruggles), and Francois Filiba (Edward Everett Horton), another boring old man who — unfortunately — Gaston robbed the day he met Lily.
But all the basic elements of the genre are here, as people like Edward Everett Horton (from whom the film gets great mileage out of his consternation at being unable to place Gaston) and Charlie Ruggles set the stage for the great supporting performances we come to love from a screwball.

Edward Everett Horton, Charlie Ruggles (as Francis' two feuding suitors) and C. Aubrey Smith (as the chairman to the board of directors of Francis' company), add expert supporting playing.

That is, until Petrov's manager, Jeffrey Baird (Edward Everett Horton, as more of a creep than usual), tells a former flame of Petrov's, Lady Denise Tarrington (Kelli Gallian), that Petrov was secretly married to Keene, in order to get rid of her.
From there, things spiral out of control, with everyone left wondering what the truth really is. Shall We Dance has that great Gershwin music, but its dancing lacks a certain spark, not to mention that Astaire and Rogers only really share two dances, plus a brief turn during the finale.

Jordan from a much funnier film of a few years back—the celestial coordinator in charge of correcting an occasional upstairs blunder—but Terpsichore's dilemma falls a little outside the standard requirements.
However, a little charm goes a long way as Terpsie sweet talks her way into a one-way ticket to the Big Apple with dependable Messenger 7013 (Edward Everett Horton) along for the ride.
Not wasting a moment once on the ground, she soon makes a big impression in an impromptu audition that wins over producer Daniel Miller (Larry Parks) and the entire company, save for one very angry dancer (Adele Jergens), who was to have portrayed the very lady standing before her.
