Excellent southern comedy, with a great cast, 29 June 2000
10/10
Author: metaluna_mutant from Baton Rouge, LA

Excellent comedy set in the south. George C. Scott plays a veteran con artist who sets out to teach his new apprentice the ways of conning people in the rural south. Sarrazin plays his new apprentice who slowly discovers he's not cut out to be a con man. Slim Pickens has a memorable role as country bumpkin who gets burned by "the Flim-Flam Man".
