The Fortune
Sexier than the Marx Brothers, handsomer than Laurel and Hardy but not as smart as The 3 Stooges.
A screwball 1920s caper comedy about two con men scheming to swindle an heiress, driven by playful energy and period charm rather than genuine menace.
A couple of bumbling 1920s hustlers attempt to obtain the fortune of an heiress. Nothing will stop them, not even murder.
