Happy Thursday, Addie. I'm so glad that you enjoyed Catch Me If You Can (2002). Another great Steven Spielberg movie here. It also came out on the same year as Minority Report (2002), also directed by Spielberg. I own this movie on DVD in both Widescreen (1.85:1) & Full Screen (1.33:1) formats, the latter is in open matte, based on what I remember. See you tomorrow for your May Q&A.

Happy Thursday, Addie! 😊 This is a great movie. Easily one of my top favorite Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio films. This one that I always watch whenever it's on tv. Definitely looking forward to watching this reaction later this evening. Have a great day today! 😊

The real life events have no bearing on the movie's quality or enjoyment. Star Wars wasn't fully based on real life either!

Addie, remember what Gandalf said in the Hobbit "Even good stories deserve some embellishments" weather how accurate this movie is or not, it's just entertaining.

I love the score in this film. It’s one of my favorites.

Internet?? Japanese game shows have had the monopoly on that stuff for decades.

Don’t feel too bad about finding out the story might all be dubious. At least were only fooled for 20 seconds. Most of us were duped for 20 years! But regardless, hopefully we can all still believe the mouse butter churning story. 🐁 🧈

For more Christopher Walken as a cool dad, check out Blast From the Past (1999)

Simone's Coconut Squire

Pretty much 100% of his story was BS. The only con he ever pulled was convincing Hollywood that he was a con man.

John Williams was openly channeling Henry Mancini when he wrote this score. The animated sequence at the beginning is an homage to the animations that accompanied the Pink Panther comedies of the 60s and 70s, and that was the energy Spielberg was going for in Catch Me If You Can.

I dont care if its true or not, even tho I dont watch it as a "true story" anymore its still such an incredibly enjoyable movie.

Addie I'm honestly impressed at how clearly you viewed Frank's character throughout the movie. It's so easy to get sucked in and view it all from Frank's perspective, but you kept "stepping out" and remarking about how everything he said was a lie and he would always leave behind everybody around him when his con collapsed. I can't think of anybody else I know who remained so clear-headed. Even I sometimes lose that perspective on rewatch, because of how charming he is. As others in the comments have noted, the story is pretty much 100% false. The real-life Frank's crimes were petty and vulgar: He'd come over to somebody's house for dinner, and while there he would steal their checkbook and cash checks on their accounts. Things like that. The amounts he stole were big for the people he stole them from, but not a fortune, because he was stealing from individual families and not from corporations. He was also caught and jailed over and over again, because he just wasn't very good at it. He didn't escape from jail, either; he was just let out because his sentences were short due his youth and because his father kept promising to keep him in control. He did pose as a doctor and airline pilot, but only to people not in that profession. If you walk up to somebody on the street and say "Hi, I'm a lawyer" they'll say "Wow, that's cool" and move on. They don't ask to see your references. He never tried the con on people who would actually know about the field, or needed any supporting documents.
