Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

BBC One
on BBC One London

Comedy starring Michael Caine, Steve Martin

Posing as an exiled prince, sophisticated conman Lawrence Jamieson makes a tidy living fleecing rich women in the French resort of Beaumont-sur-Mer until his position is suddenly usurped by the arrival of a small-time
American rival Freddy Benson. Lawrence has no option but to declare a wager and whoever loses must leave the Riviera.
The film is loosely based on the 1964 film Bedtime Story, which starred David Niven and Marlon Brando.
