BEDTIME STORY (1964) Marlon Brando, David Niven, and Shirley Jones star in this classic comedy caper about two cunning conmen on the French Riviera. The caddish Freddy Benson (Brando) enjoys setting up elaborate ruses to seduce women. The suave Lawrence Jameson (Niven) likes to pose as a prince to swindle the wealthy. When the two men meet, each perceives the other as an interloper and a threat. Upon the arrival of vacationing soap heiress Janet Walker (Jones), the two sweet-talking scoundrels compete to trick her out of her fortune. (d. Ralph Levy | Not Rated | 1 hour, 39 min)
