Tour-de-force performances from an unparalledlled 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 Curtiss in an entertainment so impeccably timed and executed that Time magazine hailed it as: "Genius! - [a film that] redefines a great comic tradition!"

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