Synopsis:

Tour-de-force performances from an unparalleled comic cast highlight this much-loved hit that RogerEbert calls "the funniest movie I have seen in a long time!" Monty Pythoners John Cleese and Michael Palin (Search For The Holy Grail, The Meaning Of Life) join Oscar winner Kevin Kline (In & Out) and Jamie Lee Curtis (True Lies) in an entertainment so impeccably timed and executed that Time Magazine hailed it as: "Genius [a film that] redefines agreat comic tradition!"

Four conniving jewel thieves... three yorkshire terriers... two heaving bosoms and one proper British barrister. It all adds up to "a non-stop barrage of... outrageous plot twists and over-the top performances" (L.A. Weekly) when a girl called Wanda (Curtis) tries to deceive her Nietzche-quoting boyfriend (Kline), an animal-loving hitman (Palin) and an embarrassment-prone counselor (Cleese) out of a fortune in jewels in this hilariously funny farce!
