Paradise For Three / Miracles For Sale

Robert Youngs low-key manner is powerfully effective in films like Three Comrades and Crossfire, but Youngs fine talents are perhaps best served by films showcasing his affable ease like these lighthearted Golden Era works. In Paradise for Threes tale of mistaken and hidden identities, Young is a flat-broke jobseeker whose jingle-contest entry wins him a stay at an Alpine ski resort. There, hes treated like royalty because the staff thinks hes a slumming millionaire. Young next is an illusionist who offers Miracles for Sale, a playful whodunit from director Tod Browning (Dracula, Freaks) that has him using conjurors skills to help unmask a killer. Youngs frequent co-star Florence Rice, daughter of sports scribe Grantland Rice, is the charming love interest in both films.
