Dirty Rotten Scoundrels 08 February, 2026

1988 | DCP | USA | D: Frank Oz


When a suave con man (Michael Caine) meets a small-time shyster (Steve Martin), they compete to fleece an American heiress.

Full of wit, word play and sharp character comedy, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a slick, sunlit caper where everyone seems to be having as much fun as the audience.

‘Most of this is bald, and very funny; some of it is witty, and even funnier.’ – The Globe and Mail

Arc Cinema
We are situated in the heart of Canberra on McCoy Circuit, Acton, between the shores of Lake Burley Griffin and the grounds of the Australian National University. Just a 10-minute walk from the city and state bus interchanges.
