The Distinguished Gentleman

FROM CON MAN TO CONGRESSMAN.

distinguishedgentlemanFlorida con man Thomas Jefferson Johnson (Eddie Murphy) uses the name of a dead congressman to get elected to the House; once in Washington, he realizes that his schemes pale in comparison with what’s going on in D.C. Not the first time Murphy plays a con man, and he’s obviously perfect as the fresh congressman who eventually learns that he really can’t stomach backroom deals when they hurt real people. We’ve seen this before (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington comes to mind), but it’s fun and enthusiastically performed, including James Garner in a small part as the original Rep. Johnson.

1992-U.S. 112 min. Color. Directed byĀ Jonathan Lynn. Cast: Eddie Murphy (Thomas Jefferson Johnson), Lane Smith (Dick Dodge), Sheryl Lee Ralph (Miss Loretta), Joe Don Baker, Victoria Rowell, Grant Shaudā€¦ Kevin McCarthy, Charles S. Dutton, James Garner.Ā
