Cast and Crew of A Fish Called Wanda

A Fish Called Wanda

"A Fish Called Wanda" is a classic example of the crime comedy genre. It blends elements typical to crime films, such as a heist involving valuable diamonds and the interactions between criminals, with the lightheartedness and humor characteristic of comedies. Typical elements include a planned theft, double-crossing characters, and tension-filled chases or schemes. However, what makes "A Fish Called Wanda" stand out is its sharp wit, memorable characters, and the clever intertwining of misunderstandings and comic timing. Unlike many crime films that focus predominantly on suspense and action, this movie emphasizes character-driven humor and absurd situations, creating a unique blend that delights both crime and comedy fans.
