Catch Me If You Can	comment	Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 Steven Spielberg film based on the 1980 memoir of the teenage con artist Frank Abagnale Jr.Frank Abagnale Jr. is a teenager in 1960s New York whose humdrum life is disturbed when his father goes bankrupt and his parents divorce. Frank, who has already shown a talent for mimicry, embarks on a new life as a teenaged con artist, passing himself off as an airline pilot, a doctor and a lawyer while he's still too young to drink.Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Frank Jr., with Tom Hanks as FBI agent Carl Hanratty, who is chasing Frank, and Christopher Walken as Frank Sr. Amy Adams has one of her first big film roles as Brenda, a young volunteer nurse who gets engaged to Frank. A young Elizabeth Banks appears briefly as a bank clerk who's attracted to Frank.It's Based on a True Story, and the real Frank Abagnale Jr. was on hand as a consultant and was enthusiastic about its production. Or at least, that's what it was billed as. While Abagnale Jr. was indeed a Con Man in Real Life, much of his autobiography is either embellished or made up from whole cloth. Ironically, this might make him the ultimate con man in the sense that he fooled millions of people as to just how succesful a con man he really was, as well as giving himself a Historical Hero Upgrade as a Lovable Rogue.In 2009, a musical adaptation of the film premiered in Seattle before debuting in Broadway in 2011. Aaron Tveit and Norbert Leo Butz originated the roles of Frank and Carl.

Catch Me If You Can / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: Carl walks through a hotel with his gun up, finger on the trigger, and even sweeps it across a civilian. Other agents are similarly cavalier. This is, of course, set before many modern firearms practices were even established. In fact, most of the agents don't even use both hands (Carl does use the modern Weaver stance a few times, which was developed in the 50s but not common until the 70s). Carl is also apparently a Desk Jockey who doesn't use his service weapon much, as his hand is seen shaking when he searches through the hotel.

There's also no mention of his sexual abuse crimes; he once infiltrated a college posing as a doctor hired by Panam. However, he wasn't trying to recruit various female students to become stewardesses as part of some clever Distracted by the Sexy scheme against the FBI, he was just there to perform "physical examinations" on them. Around 12 young women fell for the scam until Abagnale was discovered.

Later, his mother offers to write a check to cover the money he's been stealing; Hanratty snarkily says it's $1.3 million, but he seems to understand the intention.

By the time he's imprisoned two years later, he already knows more about a fraudulent check on sight than the FBI agents paid on the subject simply from his experience of making checks himself.

By the third act, he can tell Carl and the FBI what's wrong with some other forged checks they're stumped over on sight. Hanratty being able to discern clues of Frank's whereabouts from his telephone calls; e.g. he figures out Frank's from New York from his mention of the Yankees, and that he's a kid from his use of the alias Barry Allen.

Catch Me If You Can / int_4781adbb	comment	Hanratty is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold that has a dry sense of humor, but we can see he is one of the good guys. He pursues Frank not because he has a vendetta, especially when realizing that Frank is a minor, but because it's his job. Due to being a divorcee, he takes the Christmas shift so his coworkers don't have to miss the holiday. When Frank is caught in France, Hanratty lobbies for him to receive medical care and extradition to the United States. He's also Frank's only visitor in prison, bringing him Christmas gifts and recruiting him for the FBI on seeing how Frank is depressed.

Catch Me If You Can / int_4b316d47	comment	Break the Cutie: Dear god, Brenda. The poor girl goes through absolute hell. Prior to the movie her parents paid for an abortion for her only to disown her, and when we're first introduced to Brenda she's being chewed out by her boss and is left in tears thinking she's going to be fired. Meeting Frank, to her a charming young doctor and lawyer, reunites her family as she falls in love with him and reconciles with her parents...and then she discovers during the engagement party that he's a teenaged con-artist and runaway who lied about everything. It's left ambiguous but it's also possible that she was coerced into helping the FBI set a trap for Frank at the airport. The fallout the whole ordeal has on her — and whether she stays reconciled with her parents — is also left unaddressed.

The question Kitty Carlisle gives to the first imposter, and the response, is unaltered, but the first question posed to the real Frank Jr. was how long he stayed on the state attorney's staff without being caught, as opposed to the film's segue to the composite character Carl Hanratty. The film also has Abagnale and the imposters dressed as pilots, when only the real Abagnale wore a pilot uniform, the imposters were dressed as a doctor and a prisoner.

Frank calls Carl to apologize for the fact that Carl has to deal with his crimes. He's being totally sincere and even gives him his location, but Carl just thinks he's mocking him. It's one of the many things in the movie that show that while Frank may be a criminal mastermind, he's ultimately just a kid. Carl later realizes that Frank was sincere, and repays the favor by visiting him in jail regularly, with Christmas gifts.

This helps him get a photograph from Frank's mother. He goes to Frank Sr.'s apartment to question him about his son's location. Frank Sr. tells a bald-faced lie that his son is in Vietnam; as he does so, Hanratty studies some mail. He memorizes the return addresses, knowing they must be from Frank Jr. Frank isn't too shabby, either. When shown a check, he knows it's fake the instant he sees it because it doesn't have any perforated edges, then quickly identifies several other tell-tale signs, ranging from the thickness of the paper to the smell of the ink.

When everyone's eyes are briefly off Frank in the infirmary, he tries to escape (although doesn't get very far because he actually is sick at the moment); while the guards chase after him, Carl takes a moment to chuckle to himself at Frank pulling one over on him again. Young Frank impersonates a substitute teacher for French Class: where he plays the role convincingly enough to lecture his students and hand out homework, hold Parent-Teacher Conferences, and even organize plans for a field trip to a French Bread factory. He gets in trouble with the school once they find this out an entire week later; Frank's parents make a show of being angry at him but Frank Sr.'s face becomes a proud smirk once they leave the principal's office. When Carl confronts Frank Sr., the latter makes up a story that Frank Jr. made a fake ID to enlist and fight in the Vietnam War. Carl is rather amused by Frank Sr.'s audacity and can't help but grin as Frank Sr. tells his lie heatedly.

Catch Me If You Can / int_8b6e8d7	comment	Anachronic Order: The film skips around quite a bit. The movie starts with a clip of a reformed Frank appearing on To Tell the Truth, then skips back several years to a sequence with Agent Hanratty coming to interview Frank in a brutal French prison. It then skips back several more years to the beginning to start the main narrative about Frank and his life of crime. As the main plot unspools, the film periodically skips forward to show Carl bringing Frank back to the United States.

Catch Me If You Can / int_b2e94341	type	Based on a Great Big Lie
Catch Me If You Can / int_b2e94341	comment	Based on a Great Big Lie: A lot of the movie embroiders Abagnale's memoir—the fraught relationship with his father is fictional, Brenda is a composite of two different people described in Abagnale's book, etc. But later research has shown that most everything that the movie did take from Abagnale's book, in fact the whole book, is essentially made up. Abagnale never impersonated a doctor (at a hospital, at least note The real Abagnale once infiltrated the University of Arizona by pretending to be a doctor hired by Pan-Am to perform physical examinations on women interested in becoming flight attendants; he did "examinations" (read: sexual assault) on twelve women before he was found out.). He never took the bar exam in Louisiana or practiced law. He didn't escape custody by climbing out of an airplane toilet—that's physically impossible. He never worked for the FBI as a consultant in fighting check forgery. While he did sometimes wear a pilot's uniform as part of his check kiting, he did not use it to hitch plane rides around the world. And he was convicted of forging not up to $4 million in checks, but only $1,448.60. Wikipedia has much more about this. Perhaps the biggest example is that Abagnale is depicted pulling off most or all of his scams in The '60s when he's under 21. He was actually incarcerated at Great Meadow Prison in Comstock, New York, for three years from 1965 at age 17 until December 1968. He was then arrested for theft in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in February 1969, where he was sentenced to probation that June and fled to Europe, where he was arrested in September for theft, sentenced to several months in prison in France and Sweden and deported back to the United States in June 1970.

Carl refuses to believe that Frank passed the bar exam in Louisiana after studying for two weeks. The real Frank Abagnale says he passed legitimately at the third attempt after 16 weeks of studying. A loophole at the time allowed a person to re-sit the exam three times, and their marked exam papers were returned, so essentially they only had to correct the answers they got wrong. Frank refuses to believe he can't fix his family despite everyone telling him it's over, and is convinced his mom will come back if he gets all the money and luxury their family had before the IRS nailed Frank Sr. When Frank sees his father for the first time after running away, Frank Sr. says his ex-wife will no longer speak to him. When they meet again, she's remarried. By the time he goes to her home while on the run, he sees she's had another child and seemingly moved on past Frank Jr.; coupled with learning of his father's recent death, Frank Jr. finally lets the truth sink in and lets Carl take him in knowing his old life is truly gone.

Catch Me If You Can / int_d33456e7	comment	Improbable Age: Despite looking older than a normal teenager, one of the trickier aspects of Frank's cons is that he has to talk himself up as a credible Secret Service agent, pilot, doctor, and lawyer at various points despite clearly being too young to be any of those. This comes to a crossroads when meeting Brenda's parents, where he has to pass himself off as a doctor and a lawyer.

"Why do the Yankees always win?" "Because the other teams are too busy looking at the damn pinstripes." The entire movie. Independent investigations revealed that the overwhelming majority of Frank's stories, as depicted in the movie, couldn't possibly have happened.

Catch Me If You Can / int_d67e900a	comment	Fallen-on-Hard-Times Job: Frank Abagnale Sr. was apparently quite a succesful entrepeneur at one point, but by the start of the film he's being scrutinized by the IRS for sketchy book keeping, likely tax evasion. First he's forced to sell the old family home and downsize his store. The last time his son sees him, his business has apparently gone under, as he's now a deliveryman for the US postal service.

Catch Me If You Can / int_dae7053d	comment	Sexy Stewardess: To complete his impersonation of an airline pilot, Frank hires pretty young women to pose as flight attendants. He told the girls they had won an internship to train as stewardesses. He engineered the whole scheme in order to be able to enter an airport crammed with FBI agents looking for him and walk Right Under Their Noses - knowing that they would never notice him with all those beautiful, vivacious young girls surrounding him! And as a Refuge in Audacity, knowing that the FBI agents would never suspect the conman sneaking into the airport to be the most obvious freaking guy in the place. Frank Jr. also manages to bed one early in the film, successfully pulling off his father's gold-necklace con on a flirty stewardess.

Catch Me If You Can / int_dca70c44	type	Reasonable Authority Figure
Catch Me If You Can / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: Hanratty is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold that has a dry sense of humor, but we can see he is one of the good guys. He pursues Frank not because he has a vendetta, especially when realizing that Frank is a minor, but because it's his job. Due to being a divorcee, he takes the Christmas shift so his coworkers don't have to miss the holiday. When Frank is caught in France, Hanratty lobbies for him to receive medical care and extradition to the United States. He's also Frank's only visitor in prison, bringing him Christmas gifts and recruiting him for the FBI on seeing how Frank is depressed. Hanratty's boss is this as well. He doesn't berate Hanratty for letting Frank walk away while posing as Secret Service; in fact, he advocates the opposite, that Hanratty shouldn't take it badly. When Hanratty says he needs to catch the guy, his boss advises him to not get obsessed, because he has a high success rate and one failure won't mar him.

Catch Me If You Can / int_dd4d4d19	comment	Taught by Television: Subverted. Frank watching medical and legal procedurals doesn't do anything to actually enhance his cover as a doctor and a lawyer respectively — mostly because there's much more to both careers than words and all Frank can do is parrot back what was said on the shows without context to the confusion of his "colleagues."

Catch Me If You Can / int_e11b003d	comment	A weird unintentional example: It's implied that Frank understands French since he poses as a French teacher at the beginning of the movie, but the scene where the French police are arresting Frank gives no indication that he understands them; he doesn't hear French as English, nor are there subtitles, so it seems like it was just a coincidence that he was able to follow their commands.

Catch Me If You Can / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: Carl Hanratty, mostly based on former FBI agent Joe Shea. Brenda was a combination of two different girlfriends from the original memoirs.note There was a candy-stripe nurse whom he had a fling with when pretending to be a doctor, and there was also a stewardess to whom he confessed about his criminal history. The stewardess was the one who called the cops, causing Abagnale to split when he saw them as he was coming back home.

Catch Me If You Can / int_eba4a0e7	comment	Chronic Villainy: Frank eventually becomes addicted to the thrill of living like a playboy by conning money and eluding the authorities, while becoming tired from having to look over his shoulder all the time. He needs his father's support to stop, but Frank Sr. refuses for selfish reasons. Even when Frank tries to settle down his past catches up with him and he goes further into the criminal lifestyle. When Hanratty finally tracks him down in France, Frank almost seems like a thrill-seeking junkie, and Hanratty has to save him from getting himself killed. Subverted when he is released from prison to work for the FBI catching criminals like himself, and he almost goes back to his former life. However, when Frank makes a run for the airport, Carl tells him he knows Frank will voluntarily come back to work on Monday, because "no one's chasing you". Indeed, Frank comes back into work on Monday and greets Carl as usual.

At the start of the scene Frank actually has two girls on one arm and three on the other, but they don't hold formation for long.

This goes away, however, after he catches Frank; when the French police arrest the kid, he lobbies for Frank to receive medical attention and extradition to the United States where prison conditions are relatively better. He's Frank's only visitor in prison, bringing him comic books to read as a Christmas present.

"Even better" when Frank lucks into a scenario that will pay him out and/or won't require a check from him. "Why do the Yankees always win?", the philosophy of the Abagnales to look and sound their part, referencing the dynastic Yankees to the point that it felt like teams would cow to them just from "looking at those damn pinstripes".

Catch Me If You Can / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: After Hanratty's boss chews him out and clearly gets on Hanratty's nerves, Hanratty references his previous Precision F-Strike by going "Chief? Knock Knock." From that same pair of scenes, Carl tells his fellow agents that if they just keep their eyes open and do their jobs, he'll buy them both a Good Humor bar, though at the time it seems like a throwaway condescending line. When they're back at the boss' office the two agents are munching on Good Humor bars. When Frank pretends to be a substitute teacher, he says his name isn't pronounced "A-big-nah-leh", among other methods. When Carl and his partner find his mother, they read his surname on the list the same way. At one point, Frank Sr. asks his son the reason the Yankees always win. He responds "Because they have Mickey Mantle?" and his father says "No, because the other team can't stop staring at those damn pinstripes." Later in the movie when Frank is on the phone with Carl, he repeats the same metaphor, saying the Yankees always win because no one can keep their eyes off the pinstripes. Carl responds, "The Yankees win because they have Mickey Mantle. No one ever bets on the uniform."
