What happens

Bedtime Story is a 1964 American comedy film starring Marlon Brando, David Niven, and Shirley Jones. It was made by Brando's company, Pennebaker Productions, directed by Ralph Levy, produced by Stanley Shapiro, with Robert Arthur as executive producer, from a screenplay by Shapiro and Paul Henning. The music score was by Hans J. Salter and the cinematography by Clifford Stine. The film has been the basis for two remakes. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988), starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine, and in turn was the basis of the 2004 Broadway musical Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. A second remake, The Hustle (2019), starred Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson, changing the Casanova roles from men to women. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
