A fishy business

Loved watching ‘A fish called Wanda’ yet again. In the backdrop of a bank robbery of diamonds worth millions, this movie is a fantastic and funny tale of unabashed greed. Jamie Lee Curtis rules as Wanda who uses her abundant charm simultaneously on goofiest of an american con-man (Kevin Cline), a stiff-neck bank-robbery gang leader, a stammering gang member (Michael Pallin) and a pompous british barrister (John Cleese). Wanda remains very focused and determined to have the diamonds all to herself and has absolutely no qualms double-crossing her accomplices. Her plans go along well until the barrister finds her weakness for spoken Russian. John Cleese is adorable, his little trot while unclothing in anticipation is hilarious. And so is Kevin Cline when he pretends to be a CIA agent. An immensely enjoyable movie, gives a toss to propriety and correctness and makes you laugh out loud.
