Paradise for Three is the third of several film adaptations of Kästner's novel. It was preceded by the French film A Rare Bird in 1935. Other films bearing the title of the novel were released in 1936, 1955 and 1974.
In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Frank S. Nugent called Paradise for Three "a light, slight and agile farce, something in the nature of a dividend from a Metro preferred stock company" and "a genial show."[2]
According to MGM records, the film earned $421,000 in the U.S. and Canada and $330,000 elsewhere, resulting in a profit of $118,000.[1]
