Trivia:
The scene in the trailer, with Bensen and Jameison walking along the water where Benson pushes the pedestrian over the edge and in to the water, does not appear in the movie. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Lawrence, Benson and Janet arrive at the villa for the first time, it is night, but when Lawrence takes Janet to the music room to dance, sunlight is streaming through the window. moreQuotes:
Freddy Benson: [telling a phony story to sucker Janet into giving him money] I was engaged to a girl back in the States. And we loved to dance... we wanted to be professionals, isn't that silly? And we got an opportunity to compete on television, on Dance USA. So we agreed that if we won, we'd get married. So we went on, and we danced, and we won!Janet Colgate: That's great!
Freddy Benson: And in the excitement, we got separated. So I went back to the studio, and there they were. Naked, dancing... and then they stopped, and they made love right there on the dance floor!

I never get tired watch this funny film. Michael Caine and Steve Martin are good together as cons trying to compete with each other. Glenne Headly plays the woman they compete for a challenge. Wondering who is conning who at the end. I must of watch this film a dozen of times on TV, but it is fresh and funny to see it again.
