Similar enough to keep me entertained, different enough to keep me interested
Brando had a nice comic touch
Between this and Guys and Dolls and the Godfather parody w/ Mathew Broderick, Marlon showed that he could be very funny. Sort of like Errol Flynn, I wish he had been given more opportunities.
I have looked in vain for this on DVD it was supposed to have been released a couple of years ago, I'm not sure what happened.
As noted many will be familiar with the remake (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), though I prefer the original. There is a priceless scene where Marlon (as Freddy)is caught with his pants off after seducing the burgomeister's daughter in a German town. He explains that he is part of the new Exercise instruction program and he begins doing calisthenics as he makes his exit.
I also liked when David Niven and Brando first meet and realize that they are competing in the same line of work albeit at different levels.
Highly recommended.
