(Mike Nichols, 1975)
Release date: 22 April 2024
Standard Edition Blu-ray

This high-concept, big-budget screwball comedy directed by Mike Nichols (The Graduate,Wolf) stars Warren Beatty (Mickey One,Bonnie and Clyde) as a slick con man and Jack Nicholson (One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest,The Border) as his dim-witted sidekick trying to get their hands on the fortune of a hapless young heiress played by Stockard Channing (Grease,The West Wing). A commercial failure on its initial release, this buoyant and beautifully staged madcap comedy is ripe for rediscovery and reappraisal.
