DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS
DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS

Starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine
Directed by Frank Oz

In this remake of the 1964 classic Bedtime Story, master comedy director Frank Oz (Bowfinger, In & Out) sets two con men against each other in a French seaside town where they compete for the attentions of rich, gullible American women. Suave swindler Lawrence Jamieson (Caine) is incensed that a small-time hustler, Freddy Benson (Martin), has intruded into his territory. To settle the matter, the pair set a challenge for each other: The first one to con a woman of $50,00 earns the right to stay, while the loser must leave town. After they set their sights on a wealthy socialite (Glenne Headly), the duo prove they will stop at nothing to win the prize.
