(1988) 100min, 35mm
This "laugh-out-loud escapade" (The New York Times) stars Caine as a debonair con man on the French Riviera who makes a bet with a two-bit hustler (a terrificly slapsticky Martin): the first to get $50,000 from unassuming heiress Janet (Headly) wins full reign over Beaumont sur Mer. Let the dirty rotten games begin!
