Paul Henning (1911–2005)

This film isn't quite as hilarious as I remembered it being from long long (long) ago. But Caine and Martin have a definite on-screen chemistry that makes this tale of two competing con men, each convinced he's smarter than the other, fun from beginning to end. And of course the French Riviera setting doesn't hurt. Headly is the woman they're both trying to swindle. The constant reversals of each man's fortunes in this pursuit are the best part of the film, along with Martin's portrayal of show more Ruprecht--which is a must-see. A very good supporting cast makes it all glide along. show less
