In this "...blithe, seemingly all-new, laugh-out-loud escapade" (Vincent Canby, The New York Times), an unofficial remake of the 1964 film Bedtime Story (with Marlon Brando and David Niven), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels stars Caine as a debonair con man working the French Riviera. When he encounters a two-bit hustler (Martin, in a terrificly slapsticky performance) moving in on his territory, they make a bet: the first to get $50,000 from unassuming heiress Janet (Headly) wins full reign over Beaumont sur Mer. Let the dirty rotten games begin!
