Synopsis

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) is Frank Oz's crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. On the French Riviera, two con men collide: the polished Lawrence, who fleeces wealthy widows, and Freddy, a loud American hustler muscling in on his turf.

Lawrence works with finesse — flawless manners, an invented royal title, trusting women with fat checkbooks. Freddy just barges through. The resort isn't big enough for both, so they strike a bet: whoever first swindles fifty thousand dollars out of visiting heiress Janet gets to stay, and the loser leaves town for good. Their naive mark, of course, turns out to be far sharper than either man assumes.

Michael Caine and Steve Martin play a duo that runs entirely on how little they have in common, while Glenn Headly's Janet quietly outplays them both. The film is a loose remake of a 1964 comedy and later became a Broadway musical. Light, mean, and built around one last twist. Stream Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) online on iFILM.
