A Fish Called Wanda

A Fish Called Wanda (1988) is a British-American crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Charles Crichton brought together Jamie Lee Curtis, John Cleese, Kevin Kline and Michael Palin for what became one of cinema's great heist farces.

Four thieves pull off a London jewel robbery. The diamonds vanish, the ringleader George lands in jail — but not before he hides the gems in a spot only his defense lawyer knows. Wanda sets out to seduce barrister Archie Leach while her secret boyfriend Otto, convinced he's a philosopher, spirals into jealous chaos. Ken keeps accidentally killing the wrong targets. Everyone is double-crossing everyone else, and no one is even close to the diamonds.

Kevin Kline won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his turn as the catastrophically self-important Otto — a performance that still lands hard. The script came from Cleese himself, and it shows. Stream A Fish Called Wanda (1988) online on iFILM.
