The Distinguished Gentleman (1992)
Country: US
Technical: col 112m
Director: Jonathan Lynn
Cast: Eddie Murphy, Lane Smith, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Joe Don Baker
Synopsis:
A small time con-man decides to go for the top: Congress. He is reformed, by a woman of course.
Review:
Rather the inverse of Mr Smith Goes to Washington, though not as earnest, this is also not as effective. The hero comes from such unpromising beginnings that any redemption is either unbelievable or feigned for 'romantic reasons'.
