A Fish Called Wanda
Directed by Charles Crichton
1988
★ 6.2 editorial score
A Danish audiologist reportedly died laughing during a screening: Charles Crichton was seventy-seven and made the fastest farce of the decade, with four thieves who all intend to betray the others.
““A Fish Called Wanda” is the funniest movie I have seen in a long time...One of its strengths is its meanspiritedness. Hollywood may be able to make comedies about mean people (usually portrayed as the heroes), but only in England are the sins of vanity, greed and lust treated with the comic richness they deserve.”
