A Fish Called Wanda
A Fish Called Wanda is a 1988 heist comedy film directed by Charles Crichton and written by John Cleese from a story conceived by Cleese and Crichton. It stars Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Kline, and Michael Palin. The film follows a gang of diamond thieves who double-cross one another to recover stolen diamonds hidden by their jailed leader. His barrister becomes a central figure – and jealousies rage – as femme fatale Wanda seduces him to locate the loot.
A Fish Called Wanda grossed over $188 million worldwide, becoming the seventh-highest-grossing film of 1988. At the 61st Academy Awards, it was nominated for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay and won for Best Supporting Actor for Kline. A spiritual sequel, Fierce Creatures, was released in 1997. The British Film Institute ranked A Fish Called Wanda the 39th-greatest British film of the 20th century.
