A Fish Called Wanda

A Fish Called Wanda (1988) skewers the criminal underworld with biting satire and razor-sharp wit. Directed by Charles Crichton, the film follows George (Michael Palin), a diamond advocate who dreams of stealing a coveted collection. As he navigates a web of deceit, his plan unravels when he encounters another thief, Otto (Kevin Kline), and falls for the enigmatic Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis). The sharp dialogue and impeccable comedic timing make for a hilariously unpredictable caper, where romance and betrayal intertwine in a dazzling display of verbal acrobatics and physical comedy.
