Plot: Director John G. Avildsen's hilarious American remake of the 1974 French caper LA BONNE ANNEE stars Peter Falk and Charles Durning as Nick and Charlie, respectively, two suave and slightly sleazy jewel thieves who have set their sights on an exclusive Miami jewelry store. In preparation for the heist, Nick dons a series of outlandish disguises, impersonating a sentimental octogenarian with a dying wife and his elderly sister in an effort to infiltrate the store and get closer to its manager (Tom Courtenay). It seems like the perfect setup until Nick meets Carolyn (Wendy Hughes), a beautiful antiques dealer who owns the the shop next to the jewelry store. Nick becomes infatuated with Carolyn, leading to a few snags in his otherwise unflappable plan. Falk carries this outlandish outing, which features madcap comic timing and incredible special effects makeup that garnered an Academy Award nomination.
