Synopsis
The Con Artists (Bluff, 1976) is Sergio Corbucci's Italian crime caper, free to watch online on iFILM. Two swindlers meet while breaking out of a prison transport and quickly decide that fleecing the rich is more fun as a team.
Felice — Felix to his friends — leaps the train to freedom, but his fellow prisoner Philip Bang stays behind, and the heavies who staged the escape force Felix back to spring him. Once both are loose, the pair cook up an elaborate sting against Belle Duke, Philip's rich and vengeful old flame. Things turn slippery when Felix starts falling for Philip's daughter.
The real draw is the pairing of pop star Adriano Celentano with Anthony Quinn: jittery charm set against heavyweight cunning, with Capucine and Corinne Cléry in on the play. The cons stack up so thick you give up guessing who's tricking whom. Light, breezy stuff for anyone with a soft spot for likeable crooks. Stream The Con Artists (1976) online on iFILM.
