The Swindle

Augusto (Broderick Crawford), Picasso (Richard Basehart) and Roberto (Franco Fabrizi) are a trio of con artists who victimize poor Italians in this classic film from director Federico Fellini. Aging con man Augusto works to avoid personal entanglements and seeks the good life. When he runs into his daughter, whom he rarely sees, he realizes that she's in need of his help to continue her studies. But a swindle gone awry leaves Augusto in trouble.
