Hoodwink (1981)
Directed by Claude Whatham
“It's Australia's greatest con...but can he bluff them all?”
Crime, Drama, Romance · 1h 29m
Hoodwink is based on the true story of an Australian con artist who briefly won the hearts of the media (if not the authorities). John Hargreaves stars as a criminal serving time in a New South Wales prison. He's not partial to the physical labor required of the convicts, so he hits upon a labor-saving plan. Hargreaves pretends to be totally blind, thus lightening his work load....and carries off the hoax for years.
