About Who Framed Roger Suckit
Roger has been in jail for small-time hustling. In his cell he decides to do something "serious": he wants to become a marriage swindler. The pickpocket Hazel, who is also in jail, comes up with the same idea. And both inmates are released at the same time! Roger places a marriage ad and Hazel promptly answers. Roger's friend Max is so impressed by Roger's idea that he tries it too - Hazel's friend Edith falls for him, or is he actually walking into her trap? A game of confusion of the immoral kind begins, and when pimp Terry Trouble suspects the gangsters of having counterfeit money, the chaos is complete.
Directed by Jeff Gold, Who Framed Roger Suckit leans on a strong ensemble — Jerry Butler, Joey Murphy, Sheila Prinzess — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1989.
