Stars and Bars - Der ganz normale amerikanische Wahnsinn (1988)
Der britische Kunstexperte Henderson Dores reist für einen New Yorker Auktionator in den Süden der USA, um dort einen verschollen geglaubten Renoir im Wert von zehn Millionen Dollar zu erwerben. Abgesehen vom Kulturschock muss sich Dores mit der exzentrischen Familie des Besitzers auseinandersetzen. Weil dessen nichtsnutziger Sohn das Bild bereits an die Konkurrenz verhökert hat, muss der vornehme Dores schließlich mit der Mafia verhandeln.
