Movie: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Posted on February 3, 2022 by Lyme / Old Lyme

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” centers on two con men living on the French Riviera. Lawrence Jamieson played by Michael Caine, makes his lavish living by talking rich ladies out of their money. Freddy Benson played by Steve Martin, more humbly swindles women by waking their compassion with fabricated stories about his grandmother’s failing health. After meeting on a train, they attempt to work together only to find that this small French town isn’t big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: the first one to extract $50,000 from a young female target, heiress Janet Colgate, played by Glenne Headly, wins and the other must leave town. CALL (860) 434-4127 to register.
