The Curse of the Jade Scorpion

2001 · TMDB 6.6

Directed by Woody Allen

CW Briggs is a veteran insurance investigator, with many successes. Betty Ann Fitzgerald is a new employee in the company he works for, with the task of reorganizing the office. They don't like each other - or at least that's what they think. During a night out with the rest of the office employees, they go to watch Voltan, a magician who secretly hypnotizes both of them.

Why it matters

Woody Allen's comic caper about a 1940s insurance investigator and a efficiency expert who are hypnotised by a stage magician into committing a series of jewel thefts, all while bickering like an old married couple.
