| Description: |
Double bill featuring two 1980s comedy movies starring Steve Martin. In 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' (1988), when small-time con-artist Freddy Benson (Martin) invades the lucrative Riviera turf of old pro Lawrence Jamieson (Michael Caine), the latter agrees to take him on and tutor him in the methods of fleecing wealthy widows. However, it is not long before Freddy is chafing at the second banana role imposed on him by Lawrence, and when a beautiful American heiress (Glenne Headly) arrives in town, the duelling scamsters agree to a contest; whoever gets their hands on her money first forces the loser to leave town for good. In 'Three Amigos!' (1986), Lucky Day (Martin), Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase) and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) are a trio of silent film stars - known as the 'Three Amigos' - who have been dropped by their studio. So when they receive a telegram booking to put on a show in a remote Mexican village, they are forced to accept. However, there is one problem: their employers genuinely believe them to be daring caballeros, and the banditos they are being paid to take on fire real bullets. Will the Amigos save the day, or have they bitten off more than they can chew? |
