Plot Summary:Wealthy native Brit Lawrence Jamieson, living in Beaumont-sur-Mer on the French Riviera, earns most of his money through big cons on wealthy unsuspecting women. With the help of his associates - corrupt police Inspector Andre, who provides him most of his intel, and his butler Arthur - he pulls scams such as pretending to be a foreign deposed prince who needs money to finance a secret war to liberate his people. Beaumont-sur-Mer and thus his world is invaded by brash American Freddy Benson, another con man whose targets are also wealthy unsuspecting women. Lawrence believes Freddy is the Jackal, a con man whose true identity is unknown but who is known to be working his way through Europe. While Lawrence works on thousands of dollars per scam, Freddy works only on tens or if he is lucky hundreds of dollars. Lawrence's efforts to get Freddy out of his territory are unsuccessful, so when Freddy figures out that Lawrence is a con man like him, he decides to blackmail Lawrence to work under him to learn the art of the sophisticated and thus more lucrative con. Eventually, Lawrence and Freddy have a difference in how to operate their joint cons, so they issue each other an ultimatum: the person who is able to con a mark out of $50,000 first will get the French Riviera as their territory, with the other having to leave forever. Who they choose is naive and slightly bumbling American "soap queen" Janet Colgate, who has just arrived in the area. The nature of how each tries to get the $50,000 from Janet changes over time, each needing to play off the other's con. But their focus may change with more information learned about the situation, as well as some external factors they did not anticipate.
有趣 经典
这电影简直就是为“高端的猎手往往以猎物的姿态出现”这句话量身打造的
还以为是白头神探那样的闹剧喜剧,看来是把演员搞混了
男主角还可以,男二的角色有点让人讨厌,亮晶晶的首饰们很漂亮,戴着首饰的人也很美。年轻的美国boy与绅士的英国man似乎都比不上浪漫的法国girl。
天哪,我简直拍案叫绝,俩小时让我从头乐到尾。十分古典的喜剧,不强行搞笑,只好好讲故事,音乐和画面的精细配合古典得像早年的手绘动画片。最让人拍案叫绝的就是结尾两分钟,就在你以为这两个人达成和解将要move on的时候,小姑娘换了另一副面孔出场简直是惊艳,我甚至花了很长时间来确定是不是她,真是艺高人胆大!她甚至敢不商量一声就直接带了一群的人过来找老伙计,把他俩给吃的死死的,不愧是豺狼呀。最fascinating的是明明一帮骗子的斗智斗勇你居然能从中间看出君子气节,编剧真的太会了。女主太有灵气了,没想到一个人居然可以在一部片里同时演出清纯无害的小姑娘与忽悠人买房投资的老鸨子(?)。我是看了偷心女盗那部片的解说顺藤摸瓜摸到这部片的,这都相隔差不多40年了,竟然是80年代的片更先进更有品。
翻拍的马龙白兰度演的老片,但是原版不太行,这个版本好笑多了,而且看到最后居然是个女权电影哈哈哈哈
肚子笑得疼
华丽的编剧技巧,稳稳的表演,米高梅开心麻花,深究——主题究竟是什么?
她们看似痴迷你的学识和才华,其实只是图你的名气和风流装点自己;你看似被她们的慷慨和热情打动,其实只是想要她们的钱。她虽然被你耍的团团转,到头来证明了你自己残存的一丝善良和希望。她明明只是为了骗你的钱,但是她又回来找你,而且回来了就不打算离开。
风格迥异的两人 还是比较喜欢Michael Caine 看到最后想大呼漂亮机灵的Girlboss小姐姐万岁!
8.3分。2022.07.22 前半段一般,后半段很经典。
胡编瞎凑的爆米花电影,差评!
香皂女王
太逗了全程哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
看到一半就已经知道结局是谁赢,但是很好奇最后会怎样收尾。骗术电影两人斗法,感觉似曾相识,核心是以女人为赌注,但实际上:最厉害的猎手,往往是以猎物的形式存在。如果在机场戛然而止,其实会更好,聪明反被聪明误。但是为了留下一个皆大欢喜的结局,最终组成了新的欺骗团队,做大做强。
三星半,很搞笑。有意思
在那个年代的喜剧中算不上太优秀,个别机灵的桥段掩盖不了太容易预见的故事走向带来的乏味。个人一直不太能接受马丁那种“卖力”的表演模式,7分吧。
好玩哈哈哈哈哈哈
作为喜剧 是出色的 虽然其中工具人角色太多
太搞笑了 挺有意思的
美式骗子和英式骗子的一次交锋,结局第一次反转很容易料到,再一次反转确实很惊喜~Michael Caine一直保持的风度翩翩太令人着迷了,赢不骄败不馁,尊重女性,非常具有骑士精神。
绝对是那个年代的经典,现在的很多作品都有它的影子。
