The Swindle
Directed by Claude Chabrol
A lighthearted, globe-trotting caper about mismatched con artists whose chemistry and schemes drive a playful adventure through international crime.
Betty and Victor, a rather ill-matched couple, tour unobtrusively around France in their motor-home, earning their living as petty con artists, until one day they find themselves involved in an international money scam which takes them on a globe-trotting adventure.
