A Fish Called Wanda
Leaving May 31
•
1h 48m
Directed by Charles Crichton • 1988 • United Kingdom, United States
Starring John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline
Screenwriter, costar, and “Monty Python” legend John Cleese revived the eccentric spirit of the classic British Ealing comedy (even enlisting a veteran of the studio, Charles Crichton, to direct) for this irresistible caper, one of the funniest and most delightfully offbeat films of the ’80s. Four conniving jewel thieves, three Yorkshire terriers, two brash Americans, and one proper British barrister all collide when a con artist named Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis) tries to deceive her Nietzsche-quoting boyfriend (a scene-stealing, Oscar-winning Kevin Kline), an animal-loving hit man (Michael Palin), and an embarrassment-prone counselor (Cleese) out of a fortune in jewels.
