Frauds

Welcome to my Frauds Page!

Here you’ll find screencaps and quotes of this black comedy starring Phil Collins as Roland Copping, Josephine Byrnes as Beth Wheats and Hugo Weaving as Jonathan Wheats.

When an upscale yuppie couple (Byrnes and Weaving) files a claim for losses suffered during a botched robbery attempt, Roland Copping (Collins), an outrageous, in-your-face insurance investigator with a taste for practical jokes and blackmail, gets on their case.

Uncovering an insurance scam, he starts a scam of his own, taking the couple for all they’re worth. Operating out of a bizarre fun house of a home that’s filled to the rafters with toys, games, clowns and contraptions, Roland takes his victims on a wildly humorous ride through a carnival sideshow of slightly twisted human emotions. (from the VHS cover)

This is a very particular movie, nonetheless very well worth watching. Hilarious…in a…weird sort of a way…
