Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the popular 1988 MGM film, takes us to the French
Riviera for high jinks and hilarity. Sophisticated, suave with a good dash of mischief, this
hysterical comedy features a delightfully jazzy score.
Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money.
Freddy Benson more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with
fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After meeting on a train, they
attempt to work together, only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the
two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young
female target, heiress, Christine Colgate, wins, and the other must leave town. A
hilarious battle of cons ensues that will keep audiences laughing, humming and
guessing to the end!
Rated: PG-13
