Silver Bears
1978, 113 minutes, Rated PG
A gang of schemers plan a series of international banking swindles in this hilarious comedy-caper. One of the crooks, Doc Fletcher (Michael Caine, The Quiet American, Goldmember), has been sent to Switzerland to pull off a scam for American mobster Joe Fiore (Martin Balsam). His mission: set up a Swiss bank so their syndicate can launder its illegally obtained money. But that assignment turns out to be just the tip of the iceberg as Fletcher also gets mixed up with a plan to swindle money from secret Iranian silver mines.
Caught up in the middle of it all is Donald Luckman (Tom Smothers), a naive San Francisco bank employee whose ruthless boss sends him to Europe to buy the Swiss Bank on behalf of a shady industrialist. Luckman's unfaithful wife, Debbie (Cybill Shepard TV's Moonlighting), also plays a big role in the shenanigans... and she's just as greedy as everybody else!
