Tour-de-force performances by an unparalleled comic cast highlight this much-loved hit that Roger Ebert calls “the funniest movie I have seen in a long time!” Monty Pythoners John Cleese and Michael Palin join Oscar winner Kevin Kline and Jamie Lee Curtis in an entertainment so impeccably timed and executed that Time hailed it as “genius – [a film that] redefines a great comic tradition!”
Four conniving jewel thieves… three Yorkshire terriers… two heaving bosoms and one proper British barrister. It all adds up to “a nonstop barrage of… outrageous plot twists and over-the-top performances” (LA Weekly), when a girl called Wanda (Curtist) tries to deceive her Nietzsche-quoting boyfriend (Kline), an animal-loving hitman (Palin) and an embarrassment-prone lawyer (Cleese) out of a fortune in jewels in this hilariously funny farce! (MGM)
