Steve Martin and Michael Caine star as two con artists who reside in a Southern French city that isn't big enough for the both of them. They get on each other's nerves and neither of them are willing to leave the wonderful French town. So to get rid of each other, they place a bet: whoever cons a chosen woman out of fifty-thousand dollars first wins. Well, that isn't as easy as it seems! Steve Martin gives an excellent comedic performance and Michael Caine's is a tasty treat. Especially noted for the surprise twist at the end.
