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 cuckoo’s 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.
