A FISH CALLED WANDA

Details

• Release Year: 1988
• Genre: Comedy, Crime
• Plot: Tour-de-force performances from an unparalleled comic cast highlight this much-loved hit that Roger Ebert calls 'the funniest movie I have seen in a long time!' Monty Pythoners John Cleese and Michael Palin (Search For The Holy Grail, The Meaning Of Life) join Oscar® winner Kevin Kline (In & Out) and Jamie Lee Curtis (True Lies) in an entertainment so impeccably timed and executed that Time Magazine hailed it as: 'Genius - [a film that] redefines a great comic tradition!' ; ; Four conniving jewel thieves...three yorkshire terriers...two heaving bosoms and one proper British barrister. It all adds up to 'a non-stop barrage of...outrageous plot twists and over-the top performances' (L.A. Weekly) when a girl called Wanda (Curtis) tries to deceive her Nietzche-quoting boyfriend (Kline), an animal-loving hitman (Palin) and an embarrassment-prone counselor (Cleese) out of a fortune in jewels in this hilariously funny farce!
