Bedtime Story a Comic Look at Marlon Brando
Added 11/9/2008
Worth buying just to see the "Great" Marlon Brando playing a dim witted but endearing playboy to David Nivens' suave, elegant and debonoir character . The original version of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", Bedtime Story follows the amusing antics of two "gold digging" scoundrels competing for the favors and fortunes of wealthy widows in Europe's playgrounds of the rich.

All Regions?

Hmmm. Well, it's a good thing I've already seen this film, cause it's not compatable with my DVP-NS55P Sony DVD player. All regions? I don't think so.

Bedtime Story - Marlon Brando is the greatest
Added 2/18/2008
I have seen several trailers of this movie and wish it was out on DVD. It is so funny and Marlon Brando is definitely a great comedic actor. Next to this one, the Countess of Hong Kong with Marlon Brando was a riot. Please put this one out on DVD.

Brando said, "It was the most fun I ever had making a film"...
Added 2/5/2007
I was ten when the movie came out, my dad encouraged me to watch it years later when it played on television. I was hooked...
Brando is hilarious as the American GI in Europe, an egotist, sometimes crude, a hustler, preying on gorgeous woman through sympathy, his good looks and his almost pathetic, hilarious charm....David Niven is the slick, cool, rich charming Englishman and yes, he's also as conniving as Brando. Though Niven is a bit smarter than "Freddy" (Brando) - It makes for a weird but funny,= and brief partnership between Niven and Brando, to seduce & fleece some very rich, sometimes beautiful, but always naive & trusting women.
And thus begins an even funnier competition between Brando and Niven, as the movie really gets rolling now...as each character underestimates the other in cons and setups, then untimely outwits the other...all the way until the final twist of an ironic and funny ending to the film.
One of the funniest, interesting and truly well written comedies to come out of that early 60's era, (1964) or any era...It's a must see...Accept no substitutes, i.e. "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"!

Great movie, horrible dvd edition.

The dvd looks like it was transfered from an old vhs tape. If you haven't seen this movie, go ahead and buy it. It never comes on tv.
