Catch Me If You Can: Imposters catching imposters
It’s a shame that Catch Me If You Can has become one of Spielberg’s most-forgotten films in Hollywood. It was so entertaining that we’re surprised it didn’t do as well as it should’ve at the box office. Anyway, the movie follows Frank Abagnale, a thief, imposter, and cheater, who has his fun at the expense of the US government.
In the scene where he’s finally caught, the French cop that makes the arrest is none other than the real-life Frank Abagnale himself. He nods his head ever-so-slightly at Leonardo DiCaprio before walking away with the cuffed imposter. We definitely didn’t notice this in our first viewing of the movie.
