Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesDavid Mamet cast Steve Martin in an atypically villainous role after seeing him perform in Waiting for Godot on stage. He felt instinctively that comedians can make very strong dramatic actors as Jackie Gleason proved in Haie der Großstadt (1961) and Jerry Lewis did in King of Comedy (1982).
- PatzerWhen the rendezvous in Central Park is set up, Scott is told to go to the Navy Fountain. The fountain that he goes to is actually the Bethesda Fountain.

Ausgewählte Rezension
Steve Martin in a serious role in a Mamet film is reason enough to see "The Spanish Prisoner", which I believe gets its name from a type of sucker scam of the same name. And that's what this film is about. A young professional invents "the process" which is very valuable to his company but he is worried he will not get compensated well enough. This seed of doubt, which others around him recognize, sets into motion a whole series of secrets and deceptions. The dialog is snappy as in all Mamet writing, and you either really like the style a lot, or you don't. I really like it. The various twists get a bit hard to follow, and it is the kind of movie you have to see at least twice for full benefit. It is not a great film, but a worthy one.
Beside Steve martin in his serious role, which he pulls off very well, the film also has Ben Gazzara and Mamet's wife, Rebecca Pidgeon who is very good in one of the key roles in this film.
