Based on the hit Off-Broadway musical. A young, down-and-out British shoe salesman (Dominic Marsh) Iearns that he s inherited $6 million from an American uncle. However, in order to get the money he must take his uncle s corpse on a wild, parties-and-gambling fueled trip to Monte CarIo or Iose it alI to a BrookIyn dog shelter. WhiIe there he s pursued by a desperate, put-upon optometrist (Jason Alexander) and his controIIing, trigger-happy sister (Pamela Shaw), an avaricious French chanteuse (Kate Shindle), a mysterious ItaIian playboy (Dennis Farina), as welI as a young woman from Brooklyn (Nikki M. James) dead set on getting that money for the dogs. Disguises go on, guns go off, romance bIossoms and champagne corks pop in this zany, frothy, coIorfuI and fast-paced musicaI farce! |
