Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
This American comedy film made in 1998 was directed by Frank Oz and focuses on two con artists - Michael Caine (Lawrence Jamieson) and Steve Martin (Freddy Benson). They unsuccessfully attempt to work together only to find that this town (on the French Mediterranean coast) is not big enough for the two of them. They agree to a "loser leaves" bet: The first one to extract $50.000 from a young female target wins, the other leaves town. The bet brings out the best/worst in the two.
