The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Steve Martin and Michael Caine are Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and they're absolutely ruining the Riviera in this "wonderfully crafted, absolutely charming, classy and consistently amusing" (Variety) comedy. Martin is Freddy Benson, a small-time con man sleazing his way through Europe on whatever handouts he can scam. Caine is Lawrence Jamieson, an impeccably dressed and high-minded artiste who thinks Freddy is giving him - and all con men - a bad name. At first, Lawrence agrees to help Freddy spruce up his talents and his wardrobe. But when it becomes apparent that the Riviera isn't big enough for the both of them, they make a winner-take-all wager over the fortunes of a naive American soap heiress (Glenne Headly). Charged with hysterical performances, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a "hilarious battle of wits and double-crosses" (Boxoffice) that "couldn't be more delightful" (The Wall Street Journal)

Behind the Scenes, Bonus Footage, Commentary: Frank Oz (director).

Reviews

Heyne Filmjahrbuch: "Ein grobschlächtiger amerikanischer Betrüger stört die Gefilde des eleganten, kulturbeflissenen Hochstaplers in einem mondänen Mittelmeerstädtchen. ..Die sommerlich leichte, charmant altmodisch inszenierte Schwindlerkomödie setzt ganz auf die ausgezeichneten schauspielerischen Leistungen und unterhält köstlich mit Dialogwitz und Tempo."
