So so true. And nobody ever talks about it! When Freddy and Laurence were having coffee, there were those delicious cinnamon twists on the table. I could have eaten _three_ of them!
@@RocKnight11wasn't the LONG delay because he literally SEETHED with rage? You could fry eggs on his forehead until he spoke in character as "Chips" O'Toole. All in all a great movie. one of my faves. saw the community theater version recently and it was also VERY good!
Love the way Michael Caine starts grinning as the start up to the house, anticipating a fun and satisfying con, while Steve Martin still looks like he’s not sure what’s happening!
Michael Caine and Steve Martin rented adjacent villas near to where they did these location shots and took their families on holiday for the duration of the shoot. Michael Caine has said that this was the most fun he has ever had making a film. It shows.
@@davidlondon9696 All the while Ian McDiarmid was spending nights on a sleep sofa in director Frank Oz' hotel, pitching an idea to him about a character he called "Sheev"!
One of the best endings to a movie ever, even as the credits are coming up and Steve Martin is walking away with the other 2, He's not happy about having to be a mute!!... makes me laugh every time!
My favourite comedy ever. Brilliantly cast, Caine and Martin were superb together. Ruprecht is one of the best comedy characters ever written. "Not Mother?"
I watched this countless times in 1994 during the summer on the Jersey shore. I was 19 and my good friend Phil and I died every time this movie popped up on cable. Great flick. GREAT FLICK!
I love the look Michael Caine gave Headly before he jumped into the con! He looked at her like “you conniving, snake b***h!” Followed by a split second of “Wow you’re awesome” and joined in XD
Michael Caine is just always impeccable in every respect of his role and the best line in the movie " A poacher who shoots at rabbits may scare big game away" ...
So clever that Lawrence (Michael caine) didnt launch straight into the Australian character but you could see him thinking it through before launching into a full on Chips O'toole and the look on Steve Martins face when he did is priceless, plus Janet didnt trust Freddie to have any sort of dialogue as she quickly established he is a mute, high degree of acting and timing in this one scene alone probably with some improvisation thrown in.
That 1.5 seconds of micro-bouncing Cain does as he stares at "Paula," right before getting in character. (0:59) Like he wants to do nothing more in the universe than hug her in admiration (and likely a certain other strong feeling...) and effuse to her what a genius he thinks she is, etc, but he then realizes he has to snap out of it and justify her confidence in him by playing his given part, lol. Superb stuff.
You are so right ,its the little bouncing as you say ,like a cat watching a mouse.(though of course the mice are the people to be conned )That one little touch made it a perfect scene as far as I am concerned .I can honestly say it is in my top 3 of best comedies ever. And I dont know why but the name Randy Bentwick makes me collapse in laughter every time.
@@williamreynolds1163 Glad to hear your strong agreement, lol! Yeah, just an overall epic comedy. And Randy Bentwick IS a hilarious name. Unfortunately , he's a mute. 🤣
Genius and actually remade Michael Caine on many levels. Steve Martin was The Big Comedy Star of the day and Caine surpassed him. Wonderful. Loved the ending.
You just don’t get comedy like this anymore sadly, it’s classic British sarcasm meets overconfident American persona and you get this gem of a film, nothing like it anymore 🤣❤️ Michael Caine was the perfect fit for his role 👌
The look at 0:49 -"OK - you can either take revenge on me by blowing my cover, or you can go in with me and make $$ off these people I've delivered to you on a silver platter. Your choice."
I love Michael Caine’s Australian accent. His improvised dialogue isn’t that accurate, but it’s still a bloody good job! In case you couldn’t tell, I’m an Aussie.
I am not an Aussie and even not a native English speaker. But even I can hear his momentary switch to the Australian accent. I admire this transition (not only in speech, but in body, gestures, in everything. Such brilliant acting (both by the actor and his character)
The expressions on Caine and Martin's face are priceless, but Headley really carries the scene with that New York accent and constant pushing with that really fast speaking voice pattern. This film shows how important a director is to a script. This is Frank oz's best film I think and its a huge improvement over the original Bedtime Story. But in this one they twisted the script to make the girl a con artist also. And did Glenne fill the role.
I love the irony to the movie's twist where the con artists learn that they were the one's being conned all along. One subtle clue when you watch the movie again is the scene where we first see Janet entering the hotel. There's a close up of her first where her eyes dart from side to side in a shift manner.
I'm Australian. I wish Michael Caine's Australian accent had sounded a bit more Australian than it did. All the same, this was one of my favourite films from its era and I've watched it dozens of times. It never gets old.
Sometimes at the end of a really great movie you experience a touch of sadness because you know the movies about to end. The discussion that Lawrence and Freddy have before she shows up with fresh marks sets up that kind of sad end of the season shut down feeling. This ending basically tells you that the story continues, and it's a big pickup.
One of my favorite scenes from this movie is when Michael Caine gets the call when he’s in his pool. His butler brings the phone to the edge of the pool, and he says “good morning, Freddy it’s a wonderful day“ I found myself repeating that line over and over again last January, when I was staying at the lower house with its own small infinity, pool at my friends place in Baja California by San Jose Del Cabo near the beach I would dive in the pool whether it was midnight or in the morning after my beach walk and I will swim to the other side and pop up and say that out loud lol
Im a 17 year old girl but I love the 1964 original version with Marlon Brando, David Niven & Shirley Jones! It's got a better ending too! So hilarious & absolutely entertaining..not to mention Marlon is a serious eye candy 😍
The upcoming remake simply looks like utter dross. The reason this movie really worked for me was the time, late 1980s, before the days of the internet when you probably could have impersonated a deposed royal or aussie businessman with some success to the credulous.
@@VRichardsn Not disputing that. Merely pointing out the issue with blaming remakes just for being remakes. That said have you seen the play adaption of this movie? It is absolutely fantastic!
@@trueblue6201 _Merely pointing out the issue with blaming remakes just for being remakes_ Right there with you. As it was pointed out, the movie itself was a remake. _That said have you seen the play adaption of this movie? It is absolutely fantastic!_ Regrettably, I have not.
I just love the way James Josephson... no... James Lawrence... no... Lawrence Fells.... Lawrence Fengs... Forest Lawrenceton.... James Jessenden... Lawrence Jesterton... I love the way Lawrence Jesterton smiles as they walk towards the camera at the end (I also love that they stop and get into a little argument as the credits roll, but that's not in this clip).
One of the greatest endings in a film ever!!! Y'all don't even know!!!!😂 This & The Godfather Part 2 & Sicario 2 & Openhimer & City Lights are literally the top 5 best endings ever made in the history of film , Gone With The Wind & Citizen Kane & All Quiet On The Western Front (the old black n white original film not the dumb remakes) & The Public Enemy & Angels With Dirty Faces & White Heat are all honorable Mentions but this is my top 5 hands down!!!!
God is she good. Her mannerisms and accent here (especially at 0:25 or so) remind me so much of a character or two that Tom ("Spongebob") Kenny did for the genius comedy series "Mr. Show with Bob and David" on HBO in the late 90's.
This information shocked me, but DRS was actually a remake of a classic David Niven and Maron Brando movie called "Bedtime Story" (really stupid name) but a good film.
This is why the movie works. They made changes to the original movie that adds to the story. This is something that the Anne Hathaway-Rebel Wilson film DIDN'T do,
No. Classics are best left untouched. It's like suggesting a Titanic 2 or a Scarface 2. The best you should hope for is a remake, but even that might be going too far.
This is about perfect of a comedy as it can be. Terrific cast and dialogue. I love the last line “then lets go get em”. She says it with a low tone.
Almost as good as it gets.
It's the first time in the movie that you hear her real voice.
this and See no Evil, Hear no Evil and Beverly Hills cops are amongst the best comedies ever.
@@chrisbunting5437, and it is also the last time in the movie that we hear her real voice.
This movie was funny all the way through, but it was this ending that made it a Classic.
"No, it's all gone Paula" the look on their faces. Classic
You didn't really see it coming the first time watching this, that she outsmarted the both of them, that she was a step above even Caine's character
She is terrific. One of the best female film comic performances ever. They are all pitch perfect and a rare fabulous ending for a comedy.
She passed recently.
Sad she wasn't in more.
@@Rensune Yeah, so true. Going outside nearly all the time was the cause of her health problems.
Glynne Headley. She was a founding member of Chicago's Steppenwolf theater w. Gary Sinise and John Malkovich.
Make she rest in peace 🙏
this movie had one of the best twists in a movie especially for a comedy
So so true. And nobody ever talks about it! When Freddy and Laurence were having coffee, there were those delicious cinnamon twists on the table. I could have eaten _three_ of them!
I had no idea she was onto them the whole time until the very end! 😂
Michael Caine's switch to Australian! Priceless! 😄😄
The best part was that Michael Caine took a good 10 seconds to come up with Chips O'Toole's character before speaking.
The worst cockney non-Australian accent ever. Yikes.
@@RocKnight11wasn't the LONG delay because he literally SEETHED with rage? You could fry eggs on his forehead until he spoke in character as "Chips" O'Toole. All in all a great movie. one of my faves. saw the community theater version recently and it was also VERY good!
Good movie. Shithouse Australian accent.
Love the way Michael Caine starts grinning as the start up to the house, anticipating a fun and satisfying con, while Steve Martin still looks like he’s not sure what’s happening!
When he was trying to con Janice he had to play all that in the wheelchair and now he's got to work this next con without using his voice. Priceless!
Michael Caine...his immediate change to Aussie was priceless!
Plus, he seamlessly switched to her new name, "Paula", a great name for an Australian accent! 🤣
Yep
One of the best movie endings I did not see it coming brilliant! The looks on the guys faces lol
My favourite Micheal Caine movie. He really looked like he was enjoying himself in this.
Michael cain has gone on record many times that this was the most most enjoyable movie he has ever made.

Glenne Headley just died. This was her best role.
Damn. Not that old, 62 :(
Had no idea she passed, very good scene that remains memorialized for her.
How sad had no idea I watched this film a hundred x as a kid on video rental. She was flawless as both the jackal and Janet Colgate.
She was wonderful in this role. Vale Glenne Headly

Wonderful. Loved the ending.
This Movie was HILARIOUS!! This scene was good and the wheelchair scene with Steve having no feeling in the legs!😂❤😂❤👍
“Unfortunately Randy is a mute”….😂😂😂
Janet didn't trust Freddy's chops for this scam. To be a part of it, yes, but not to talk. Funny.
and at Steve Martin's suggestion. He is a classy actor, willing to poke fun at himself for the film's benefit.
I Wishi they'd have made a sequel. Great movie!
