The grasshopper…
This movie is a work of art on many levels. We have seen the premise many times for example “Being There” (1979) and “The Man Who Knew Too Little” (1997).

Only those films relied on dumb luck or just dumb. Where as this film portrayed principle, friendship, and the person overcoming the situation without being so ignorant that he misses the point. Several times you want to close your eyes because you just know what is going to happen. And then it doesn't. One of my favorite scenes was the telling of the "Grasshopper and the ant" This is a microcosm of the movie.

The basic story is about a shoeshiner taking the place of a killer in exchange for his dream of a boat after three years of incarceration. With three days to go before the trial, the person assigned to watch him decides to give the shoeshiner one last fling. Starting off with mistaken identity and complications snowballing from there.

“You had a child with the new maid?”
Sylvester Stallone plays a gangster, Snaps Provolone. He promises his dying father (Kirk Douglas) that he will go straight.

Nobody is ready for this.
Local bankers want his money.
Local law enforcement wants to make a pinch.
Rival gangster wants to make a hit.
His accountant wants a raise.
His elocution instructor (Tim Curry) is eyeing his daughter.
His maid is moving up in the world.
The Finuccis have him covered.
Several black bags are exchanged.
And who is Oscar?

The film while staying coherent is packed with one liners that relying your board cultural knowledge.

星4.5
やっとやっとこの作品が字幕版で登場しました。待ち遠しかった作品です。ベティ・グレイブルが主演しているミュージカルって、たくさんありますし、現存もしているはずですが、日本では今一つ、ビデオ化が遅れているのです。今回も、ジュネスさんがやってくれました。

星が満点でないのは、DVDでないことと、それゆえに、ほんの少々ですが、画像のシャープさが足りない気がするからです。
内容は、他愛もないミュージカルですが、かなりのタップシーンを見ることが出来ます。
遺産が入るはずが、税金にほとんど取られてしまい、玉の輿を狙うベティですが、結局は、お金より愛よね。というストーリー。楽しめます。
