Based on the movie of the same name.

French Riviera. This is a comedy about two con men's attempts to beat each other at the game of swindling a woman out of her fortune.

The music itself is very reminiscent of dance music popular in earlier times, perhaps 1940-50s, juxtaposed with some very, um, "dirty" modern lyrics.

Lawrence Jameson

suave and sophisticated middle-aged con artist

Freddy Benson (Baritone)

small time crook

Christine Colgate (Mezzo/Soprano with Belt)

naive american blonde beauty

Muriel Eubanks

ditzy

Jolene Oakes

an Oklahoma oil heiress
