Frank Oz directed this clever comedy that stars Steve Martin & Michael Caine as two con artists on the French Mediterranean Coast who continuously bump into each other, interfering with each others plans. They then decide to settle things by making a bet: the first one to make a successful con on tourist Janet Colgate(played by Glenne Headly) will be the winner, and the loser will leave the country. They still team up to fool her with various disguises and schemes, but not everything is as it seems, leading to a memorable twist ending. Both Martin and Caine give funny performances, and work well together. Viewer may be uneasy rooting for these crooks, but it all works out well in the end.
