The Distinguished Gentleman
From con man to congressman.
Directed by Jonathan Lynn
Produced by Hollywood Pictures, Touchwood Pacific Partners 1
A lighthearted political satire about a con artist exploiting his way into Congress, driven by comedic energy and social commentary on greed and corruption.
A Florida con man uses the recent death of the long time Congressman from his district, who he just happens to share a last name with, to get elected to his version of paradise, the U.S. Congress, where the money flows from lobbyists.
