Storyline
Lawrence and Freddie are con-men; big-time and small time respectively. They unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this town (on the French Mediterranean coast) aint big enough for the two of them. They agree to a "loser leaves" bet. The bet brings out the best/worse in the two. Interesting twist at the end. Written by Rob Hartill

Trivia
This film originated as a project for Mick Jagger and David Bowie, after the success of their popular "Dancing in the Street" video in 1985. Studio bosses were anxious to put them in a movie together. Screenwriter Dale Launer was brought in based on the success of Ruthless People and asked to submit ideas. Launer had seen the original film, Bedtime Story (which starred Marlon Brando, David Niven, and Shirley Jones) on TV once before and suggested a remake. During development, however, Jagger and Bowie dropped out of the project. Steve Martin and Michael Caine were brought in as replacements. See more »Goofs
Continuity: The Greek Millionaire introduced in the final scene is wearing exactly the same black and white stripped shirt as Steve Martin's character in an earlier scene. See more »Crazy Credits
