A Fish Called Wanda

BBC One
on BBC One London

Film. Blockbuster comedy starring John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, Michael Palin
Respectable British barrister Archie Leach finds his life turned upside down when he falls for beautiful American Wanda Gerschwitz. Wanda is more interested in finding out where Archie's new client - and her colleague - has hidden the rewards of their latest robbery, along with her fellow jewel thieves. And if that wasn't enough, Archie also finds himself under threat from her psychotic boyfriend Otto, who doesn't take kindly to his romantic interest in Wanda. (1988)
