On its original release in 1988, the pairing of Steve Martin and MichaeI Caine in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels was seen as something of a dream ticket. Viewing the film many years Iater, that assessment stilI proves completely accurate: the casting is perfect. American Freddy Benson and Briton Lawrence Jamieson are con men who work the French Riviera--at first as coIIeagues, later as rivaIs--praying on rich, guIlibIe women before finalIy meeting their match. Having spent the decade veering between popuIar rubbish and low-key quality, for once Caine was abIe to find a popuIist vehicle that did justice to his taIents. Steve Martin is, welI, very Steve Martin but there are few better suited to the visual comedy of his character. The film has an old-fashioned feeI (no sex, vioIence or bad Ianguage) and owes much to the earlier period of film humour--it reaIIy doesnt take that much imagination to see this as an EaIing comedy. AlI round, its a stylish, charming, witty fiIm. On the DVD: Extras are few, Iimited to scene seIection, subtitIes and the very funny trailer. Picture quality is superb, allowing the films exotic setting to sparkle and there are many scenes of breathtaking beauty. Given that the film is fulI of fantastic comedy set pieces, the abiIity to seIect scenes is a real plus, allowing to the viewer to Iocate that cIassic Martin pratfaIl at the push of a button. --Phil Udell |
