In The Fortune (1975), a period-set comedy from director Mike Nichols (The Graduate), Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty star-and we do mean star-as a pair of hapless con men attempting to separate a madcap heiress (the marvelous Stockard Channing, making her movie début) from her very attractive money. Stylish, witty, and entertainingly nasty, the film features superlative work from a host of 1970s superstars: screenwriter Adrien Joyce (pseudonym for Five Easy Pieces' Carole Eastman), cinematographer John A. Alonzo (Chinatown), production designer Richard Sylbert (Rosemary's Baby), costume designer Anthea Sylbert (Chinatown), and the utterly distinctive composer David Shire (The Conversation), who provides an adapted score.
