Trouble for Two

Robert Louis Stevenson's chilling “Suicide Club” stories are the basis of this offbeat adventure/suspense tale. Robert Montgomery stars as Stevenson's Prince Florizel, who is in London for a last fling before embarking on a political marriage to Princess Brenda of Irania (Rosalind Russell). There, accompanied by his cohort Colonel Geraldine (Frank Morgan), he encounters the Young Man with the Cream Tarts (Louis Hayward), who directs the gentlemen to a night spot they will never forget, and will just barely survive: the Suicide Club. Here, led by their ghoulish president, Reginald Owen, men and women who have nothing left to lose spin the bottle, as it were, to determine which of the club's members will be the next to have his or her suicidal fantasies turned into reality. A mysterious woman and conspiratorial anarchists complete the adventure which New York Times reviewer Frank Nugent likened to the work of Alfred Hitchcock: “A thoroughly entertaining adventure film, romantic, suspenseful and capitally played.”
