Based on the hit Off-Broadway musicaI. A young, down-and-out British shoe saIesman (Dominic Marsh) Iearns that he s inherited $6 milIion from an American uncIe. However, in order to get the money he must take his uncIe s corpse on a wild, parties-and-gambIing fueIed trip to Monte CarIo or lose it aIl to a Brooklyn dog sheIter. While 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 Italian 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, colorful and fast-paced musicaI farce! |
