A Fish Called Wanda
Comedy in which a con artist uses her charms to steal jewels from her gangster boyfriend, taking advantage of his henchman and a lawyer to realise her plan.
Offbeat black comedy in which a con artist uses her female charms to steal a stash of jewels from her gangster boyfriend, taking advantage of his henchman and a lawyer - with whom she later falls in love - to realise her cunning plan. The group's various criminal escapades are often complicated by the presence of a hapless mobster, whose mission to kill an elderly witness proves increasingly hard.
