The culture clash between the English and Americans is demonstrated hilariously in this offbeat romantic caper, written by Monty Python's John Cleese and directed by veteran Brit Charles Crichton (The lavender hill mob). The "Yanks" in this case are Wanda and her lover/partner-in-crime Otto. The "Brits" are barrister Archie Leach, burglar George and stuttering animal rights activist/criminal Ken. A diamond heist is what brings them together, as they all attempt to confiscate the hidden loot behind each others' backs. A romantic quadrangle adds to the fun. One of the most entertaining films to hit the screen, A fish called Wanda takes a spot alongside Splash and Arthur as one of the funniest romantic comedies of the decade (Boxoffice).

Written by John Cleese ; story by John Cleese and Charles Crichton.

Adult accompaniment ; coarse language.
