Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Trouble for Two is a 1936 film directed by J. Walter Ruben.Robert Montgomery stars as Florizel, the crown prince of some dinky little country called Corovia. As the film opens, his father the king tells Florizel that it's time for him to marry his long-intended bride, Princess Brenda of Irania. (Not Iran, it would seem.) Florizel, who hasn't seen Brenda since they were both children, remembers a gawky, awkward little girl, and recoils. His father gives him a lecture about The Chains of Commanding and says that marriage to Brenda is his duty. He also reminds Florizel that Corovia has some dangerous anarchists led by one Dr. Noel, who not long ago tried to kill Florizel. Florizel's marriage is required for the political stability of the kingdom. However, word has come from Irania that Princess Brenda is also balking at the marriage. In light of that news, the king gives Florizel a chance to think it over, sending him off to London for thirty days, with palace courtier Colonel Geraldine (Frank Morgan) as his companion.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Strange things start happening after Florizel leaves. On board the ship, he is approached by the beautiful Miss Vandeleur (Rosalind Russell), who tells him that she is in danger of her life and asks him to hold a secret document for her. Florizel cheerfully agrees, but when they land in England Miss Vandeleur does not show up to meet him, and Florizel discovers that the document is blank paper. Then when Florizel and Geraldine are having dinner in London, they're approached by an odd young man who tells a strange story. It seems the young man has decided to kill himself, and has joined a suicide club. Intrigued by the odd story, Florizel claims that he too wants to die and goes to the suicide club along with Geraldine. They are followed by the mysterious Miss Vandeleur, who joins the club herself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Trouble For Two / int_3cf44d4b | comment |
High-Class Glass: You can't get more high class than an actual king, which is why the king of Corovia wears one. Sets up a gag where the king's glass pops out of his eye when they are told that Brenda refused marriage becaus she "will never buy a pig in a poke." | |

Secret Test of Character | |
Trouble For Two / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: The whole charade with the letter was Princess Brenda's way of testing Florizel (she recognized him, even though he didn't recognize her) and seeing what kind of a man he was and if he'd help a lady in distress. The scary guy who demanded the letter at gunpoint was actually her servant. | |

Trouble For Two / int_44a1dd10 | comment |
King Incognito Prince Florizel travels to Europe under the assumed name of "Mr. Godall". Unsurprisingly, it turns out that beautiful Miss Vandeleur is actually Princess Brenda herself. She was also fleeing the Continent, being just as reluctant to marry him as he was to marry her. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Whoever draws the ace of clubs is the executioner who escorts the chosen victim to death. Miss Vandeleur draws this card on two consecutive nights. It turns out that the suicide club is legit and Florizel just happened to join a murder club organized by the man who wants to kill him. | |
