Woody Allen stars in one of his funniest parts in years in The Curse of the Jade Scorpion. He plays an insurance investigator in the early 1940s called upon to solve a series of jewel thefts from wealthy clients. Only Allen knows enough about the security in the victims' homes to figure out how it was done. But it turns out that it's Allen himself who is the thief — under hypnosis by David Ogden Stiers. And his office nemesis (Helen Hunt) wants to fire him, but she's hypnotized too! A lot of fun, if a little forced and corny at times.
