Laurence Jamieson (Michael Caine) is a sophisticated confidence man who has been preying on the Riviera so long that he is even in the good graces of the local law enforcement. He crosses paths with another “Dirty Rotten Scoundrel,” Fred Benson (Steve Martin), who is more on the nickel-and-dime level. After a failed attempt to shake Fred off, Laurence decides to shape him up. They have to compete against the unknown predator only known as the jackal.
Can Fred learn the finer points of relieving people of their monetary endowment?
Or will everyone fall prey to the jackal?
They could not have picked better people for the parts, as the actors seem to have put a lot of their personalities into the roles.
One of Steve Martin’s best!
