What’s Catch me if you can about?
Based on a true story, this classic movie directed by Steven Spielberg, tells the tale of Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio), a young man who successfully managed by the age of 21 to con millions of dollars by pretending to be a Pan American World Airways pilot, a Georgia doctor, and a Louisiana parish prosecutor. Tracked for years by obsessed FBI Agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), the young mastermind was able to slip through his fingers multiple times, enjoying himself in the process. The con artist's foremost crime was check fraud which he carried out so expertly that by the end of the movie he gets recruited by the FBI to help them with check forgery cases.

What makes this scene iconic is that Frank is using his dad's advice. "Why do the Yankee's always win? Because everyone is looking at their pinstripes".
No...it's because they've got Mickey Mantle
@@dylan3017 touche, my friend. heh
@@dylan3017 Why do they have Mickey?.. cause they have the pin strips. The illusion of grandeur is just as good as the genuine...if only one cannot tell the difference.
Girl thought she was gonna ride an ICBM
What does that exactly means? Who are the Yankees and what is pinstripes? ( I am not a native English speaker)
It's hilarious because he had so much charisma that he could have probably made it in society as a legit person but because that shit is boring and tedious he decided to skip all the unnecessary steps LMAO
He actually did in the end. Look him up.
@@padpak Yeah man. He's a reputed white collar professional now.
He did make it in society, despite being a criminal. That's charisma.
@@MrGriff305 He seems to be kind of a protagonist
He passed the bar exam on his own to be a lawyer!
This film is the epitome of the phrase: "You just do it with confidence and nobody will notice."
Shorter phrase: Fake it ‘til you make it.
@@motodog242 Doesn't have the same elegance.
I mean they ain't wrong if you fake with confidence it takes people much longer to notice you are fake
Carry a clipboard and act like you belong.
It works on a lot of things. Violating covid "mandates" for example
Tremendous. Frank stages a phony stewardess contest, hiring staff, renting the auditorium, everything including the flight attendant uniforms. And he didn’t randomly choose girls, he picked tall ones to help hide him, and placed the most attractive ones in front to distract the authorities. Pure genius.
And one short one to talk to so he has a reason to keep his head down. Briliant writing.
Keep in mind the real Frank is a regular guy. He's not handsome, these girls REALLY wanted to be in the Futue Stewerdess Program. They arent running off with a hunk.
I've always wondered how he got all the stewardesses on a plane - how long before they discovered that it was all a con.
Apparently all of his shenanigans never happened, he made almost everything up. Only tru thing about him is that he forged some checks :)
Feel kinda bad for the women though.
What amazes me the most is that Frank could have gone to another airport. But Frank WANTED to go through this one just because Carl was there. And even with all the security, Frank managed to slip right down his nose. And to add salt to injury, Frank hired a driver and a sign with Carl’s name. Gotta give Frank credit for elaborating such a big middle finger to Carl
Well, he did ruin up his wedding, pretty messed up.
The phrase is "to add insult to injury".
@@fofspicyeyes ohhh Michael the german spotted?
@@fofspicyeyes maybe he's russian. we have a phrase "to rub salt on a wound/injury"
@@elina1421 Yes but that's called pouring salt in the wound. He mashed the two phrases together

Yooo that took me out so hard 😂. I was like “ohhh nooo”
Yeah that was a perfect answer I loved it she trying her best
That's Santa Claus
This man's level of confidence when he's faking is just unbelievable.
his dad taught him everything, absolute genius for the wrong reason.
he’s faking till he becomes it
The craziest thing is that it really happened
it based on a real life story now he works for the fbi
@@Tero2008 nope. Made up BS and never worked for the FBI. He was in jail for stealing from elderly when this was supposed to have happened.
Back when flying was considered a luxury and everyone wore their best suits. Now it's a bothersome and expensive bus system but in the sky.
I remember when my parents told me this, it would be the equivalent of going on a fancy cruise
* bothersome and vastly cheaper bus system in the sky
@@samueljang1902 Has nothing to do with being spoiled. Flying used to not be viable for working or even some middle-class people, which already made it more exclusive. Fashion was also a lot different.
@@OpheliaNL Your point has a slight amount of merit to it, however, the situation we had right up until Covid was that airlines competed against each other so fiercely that they ran the airline on paper-thin margins, sometimes at a loss to push their competitors out of certain routes.. Air travel went from something people would do as a real treat for themselves and perhaps their children, something they would save up a couple of years to experience and dress up for the occasion, to what we have now, which is airports full of screaming children and people wearing shorts and flip-flops to non-tropical locations. Air travel pricing became a race to the bottom to the point where people on government unemployment payments can afford to travel to places they can't afford to stay, and when the hotel companies took a leaf out of the airline's book and began building super-budget minded no-frills hotels, what were once pristine destinations visited by just a small cohort of high quality tourists are now overrun by messy and disrespectful Aussie bogans and British chavs (and the like)... The fact is, rampant tourism has ruined all but a few parts of the world, especially South East Asia, a region whose economies have become so dependant on rampant unchecked tourism that the drop in tourist numbers during Covid immediately destroyed entire Asian economies.
@@samueljang1902 more like how shitty flying has become😭😂
6000 miles per hour at an altitude of 300 feet. Now THATS an airline for me!

*Now that's ballistic!*
1:56 - and he's got ridiculous attention to detail! When they enter the crowded part of the airport, he lags behind and strikes up conversation with the SHORT "stewardess" so that he can tilt his head down while talking her. That will obscure his face even more, any time he's worried that he's being looked it.
Good catch!
I mean...That's kind of the obvious thing to do, make sure everyone stares at the girls while you're hidden amongst them with your head down.
@@lenglain Yeah but just having you head down makes you suspicious, he had to hindsight to have a reason to keep your head down by hiring a shorter girl walking next to him. It's clever as hell.
@@Snowboarderr4Life foresight my man not hindsight.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 You are correct, sorry not my first language
You got to admit the young man had guts and class and the best of all he knew how to spend money
It is too bad , the real story is an entire fabrication . Check Frank Abagnale on Wikipedia and the veracity of his story, he was nothing more than a petty thief that stole from people he made friends with , money , cameras , cars etc .
@@josephforest7605 bold of you to use wikipedia as a source
@@tomatoboi5735 your reply reminded me that wikipedia aint shit

Those days when sterwardess are adored and loved,. Now they get yelled at for giving out the wrong kind of peanut. Lol
In a low cost airline stewardess are the ones yelling at passenger
@BloodLab yip, Singapore, Cathy, Emirates etc all top notch
@@AlexJBethell Please look at the mirror, my friend.
@@hominexodia5328 that’s unrelated. At some point, that profession was deliberately and openly about image. If the modeling industry transitioned entirely to unattractive people and it fell apart, even ugly people should be able to understand the issue
That's actually sad. But it's a general thing. Being polite is not in anymore probably due to SM - twitter not least
You're telling me this is what happens when you max out charisma and speech
and a little bit of luck
Need to spec into intelligence too
Dude had WAY too many points for his level. It's unfair.
Wonder what happens to all the ladies once Frank get out of the country, and they found out they're not actually PanAm employees.
Yup
I figure it's like those dreams where you get something like a new computer and when you wake up it's not real
@@renjicc3106 I feel called out lol
@@Bolizen I may or may not have had a dream like that the day I wrote that comment 😓
I was wondering the same thing
This movie is so entertaining from start to end. Brilliant.
steven spilberg is a smart dude. great actors also
I was laughing in these scenes. I feel very sorry for these girls. They felt they hit the jackpot cuz finally they become a stewardess, not knowing they were scammed.
at least they got their trips paid for coz that dude was rich
PLS he picked the dumb ones 😭😭
at least they are part of a movie with mr. Di Caprio
I wonder what happened to the girls after the flight was taken off?! Did he ditch em?!
Nah, he spanked each and every one of them, one at a time
1:42 just love the cinematography there
One of the primary reasons I love most Spielberg movies. Too bad most movies nowadays fail to evoke color, sense of scale and emotion and just use cheap editing tricks.
@@MazBringsby and reboots only not create new stuff. cause they wanna destroy everything.. btw they been manipulating us for a century. its all a lie and we all doomed
the sky looks exactly like the pan am advert arts
@@MazBringsby cinematography-wise maybe. But most of his films does not seem to be aged well. It's like he was trying to be edgy with it

this is exactly what i thought of during that whole scene , was looking for a comment to see if anyone else thought so 😂
The part where he holds up the sign with his name on it is absolutely hilarious! 🤣
He's lucky he didn't get shot reaching back into the car like that tbh
@@dantastic7 Don't worry! He's white
Especially as the name was spelt wrong.
@@beenguy5887 Which makes it MORE LIKELY to be put down, statistically.
"Did you see that blonde out front?" "I should have been a pilot" "Exactly" Everyone also want to be a pilot if it's like that 😂
Am a pilot. Can confirm, it is in fact, not like that.
@The Snow Nigro pilots make a lot of money
@The Snow Nigro Senior widebody captains might make close to $200k/yr, but you have to accrue thousands of flight hours and build seniority first. Most airline pilots start young in regional airlines, and getting your pilot's license, ratings, and your ATP is just one outlay, the most expensive part of becoming a pilot are the flight hours. Unless the military teaches you to fly, you start in a financial hole and unlike doctors, the skill isn't as marketable, especially during COVID and economic downturns. The world always needs more doctors and nurses.
I thought pilots and flight attendants always sleep around? Lots of anecdotal cheating stories.
@@pbdye1607 couldn’t agree more. Career currently fucked due to COVID.
Distraction Distraction Distraction....first key element in confusing the enemy....
Thats not true. First key element is to understand the situation. Also its more vital to know yourself and your enemy. The art of war from Sun zu is a great masterpiece i can suggest to read.
The scene with Frank Sinatra's song is simply unforgettable, an icon, a legend!!
It's so unbelievable that nobody in the girls school suspect anything when he is the only person organizing the whole process of selection, with no other staff from the airline company seem with him
Such was the awesome power of a handsome man in a pilot's uniform in the 1960's. You could just walk into a girl's school, select eight hotties, and leave with them. No questions asked.
@@RoachDogg_JR Or maybe not since a lot of things in this story are just invented ;)
@@RoachDogg_JR I suspect he was choosing the most naive girls too... any ones that were too sharp he left behind.
@@RoachDogg_JR because he was white, handsome, young, and rich. back then it's enough to trust someone.
@@asoka7752 Yes that's what I said
you gotta hand it to him it was a clever move he pulled

@@an18yearoldmongolianguy not really, there are men capable of controlling themselves
@@hnacs8117 yes but it still doesnt negate the fact we would fall for this. I know I wouldve as a teen
2:01 - formation perfectly resembling a plane, flying through "turbulence", with the captain navigating the unit through the crowds. Hiding in 'plane' site.
You should've been the one trying to crack the Enigma code
I love this scene, it was a favorite of my grandmothers too! She passed from COVID 6 months ago. Still if I close my eyes, I can still see her smile and hear her laugh from this scene.
I'm sorry for your loss...
Me too
Sorry for your loss.

What makes him an absolute magician in this scene, 1:55 he drops to the back. And all gals go in front for FBI agents to notice them... and not him. "Yankey with the Pin strips." 🙌
Damn, I feel cringe to the part where the ladies were interviewed. They didn't know that they were assessed if they were good enough to be a camouflage for Frank's escape.
Ouch, someone actually uses the word cringe as an emotion… that’s cringe…
@@motodog242 Oh, so it should be “I cringe..”. Duly noted, thanks.
Cringe what a pussiboi
He clearly maxxed out his Charisma stat
Steven Spielberg is a GENIUS. Such a talented director. I can't stop watching to this scene again and again. It makes me laugh every time
i wonder what happened to the women when they realized it's all a scam and they're in another country. lmao...the least Frank should've done is book them a ticket back home.
Once they realize and tell that to the airline i am sure the govt or airline would send them back.
@@carboncompounds9377 Yea..... That's not really how it works in many places. Depending where they went they could be stranded for months while the embassy tries to get them released.
@@FarikoWishless he was already one of the most infamous people at that time,...people knew the fake pilot fiasco and countries are not against each other to the extent they don't give back some civilians (that too when both the countries are already connected through air route)
Nah back then people were more inclined to help others in general, especially women and especially attractive young women..
In the book they do actually do a little tour of Europe under the guise of them being on a sort of secret PR programme with Pan Am. It’s been a while since I read it but I think he even pays them every month with fake Pan Am checks that he then cashes for them. They end up having a nice holiday and then going back home.
What I love about this, is at 2:43 you actually see the stewardess and Frank in the back round walking pass Henratty when he finds out that frank is somewhere else, where they’re actually just walked past him.
you don't...... say
"you actually see" - continues mentioning the only bright objects on a gray background
@@NoNameAtAll2 you probably have not seen it yet, just focus behind henratty and you will see a group of women in blue and a flight attendant walking past him
@@cannucigianna1360 😶😶😶😶😶😶😶😶
I actually didn't notice the first time.
Tom Hanks, Leo DiCaprio and Sinatra singing about flying to Perú it's just amazing!!!!!
I love how he looks up at the end to see a plane taking off and he just knows who is on that plane 🤣🤣
When my man said "i should have been a pilot" he said that from his bottom heart.
You mean, from his lower brain, the one between the legs
😉
Something arose that day.
1:00, "Travelling at 6000mph, 300 ft altitude". Lmao, this woman is applying for a star wars shuttle attendant
0:59 LOL traveling at 6000 mph at an altitude of 300 feet. Such a genius. She's perfect for the stewardess program lol
0:58 i think she’s was trying to apply for a position with Al Queda
This scene was extremely well written. Absolute classic!
best Cinematic Moment ever caught on camera..Leo walking away with all 8 beautiful ladies.🎬
Tom Hanks has incredible ability to make serious scenes so funny 😂
So this was probably taken from how Leo interviewed girls for the GF position
2:35 gets me everytime 😂😂
Haven’t seen the film yet, we’re those guys informants or random dudes lol
That is a perfect escape and a clever FU at the same time - bravo!!
3:00 imagine seeing a bunch of guys in same suits and hats running out of your local airport
If singing Leaving on a Jetplane doesn't get you hired as a stewardess, I don't know what will
The genius Frank pulled a brilliant fast one.
You haven't heard ? Frank's story is all fake , he was in jail all during his teens .Alan C Logan investigated Frank's story it never happened .
I laughed out loud when he pulled out the Handratty sign! What a chad.
He's got the Han Solo scoundrel spirit
Frank takes the phrase "confidence is key" to a WHOLE nother level!
This might be my favorite part of the movie. I also loved when he was with that cute shy nurse, and when he went back to see his mother.
This was such a classy scene!!! Frank Sinatra singing, perfect!!! Frank was already in the air when Handretty realized what was going on!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🚘🚙🚖🙂🙃😉👍
Good to see everyone coming back to this masterpiece 😁
This was my favorite part of the movie.
“We’ll be traveling at 6000 miles per hour at an altitude of 300 feet..” 🤣🤣😂
Out of all the scams he pulled everyone just fell for his charm and never questioned anything he said called to see if he really had these qualifications they were all so trusting him
He is like Neo in the matrix. How dare you go your own way. Gotta catch him put him back in line.
One of the best movies of all time! =)
All right. This movie is in my Top 20 all time.. Great film
The 6000 mph at 300 feet made me giggle! And she said it with such confidence too 😂
Every time frank comes up with amazing plan! Frank is not criminal , he is Genius .
Let me know if you change your mind, when you are scammed out of your savings and pension.
This starring actor is my admiral , splendid ,the way he perform , he is the best ,,he is the one
Love this man. My type of hero. Total class
An amazing actor played by an amazing actor.
then again Forrest Gump gets outsmarted
Frank’s plan was priceless and absolutely genius
Love the shot of the 707 as the scene fades to black
Happy for it, happy journey 🤗🫂👐
Imagine if the feds or the cops had atleast one straight female agent in the field and notices Frank 🤣
”How did you do it Franck?”
He never lied, he literally lived it.
Not really, the guy who this movie is based off of made up the whole story. He's literally been lying about it since the 70s, and that "autobiography" helped give credibility. That's really his only, and greatest con.
@@lenglain what was he is arrested for?
@@KingoftheApes ripping off some girls parents with bad checks
@@lenglain yeah, saw some video on it. Pretty dissapointing.
@@KingoftheApes that guy is the one lying.....
Speed of 6000mph😭
Fun fact: In the 60's and 70's, it was common for passengers to flirt with a flight attendant or ask for her number. (Especially since most airlines required the female flight attendants to be single) Today, it's far more likely that you'll be banned from the airline and charged with "sexual harassment" if you pick the 'wrong one' to ask.
That's fantastic, he should be an actor
0:58 6000 miles per hour? Are you travelling in a spaceship?
300 feet? Are you traveling in a helicopter?
A hypersonic missile.
I genuinely feel so bad for the women. They were so happy
Same thought
Id like to say the same, but most were airheads, so who cares.
After this movie they must’ve raised IQ standards for FBI hiring
I sure miss airport chicken and those chocolate eclairs. Ahh the golden years of flying. The newer generations will never know how great it was or what im talking about
3:30 Hanratty's reaction "Why Frank Why"
6,000 mph at an altitude of 300 ft I almost choked on my tea just imagining that
He selected most beautiful ladies from that group ..so that wherever he walks in their cover .Everyone's attention will be on the girls NOT HIM ❤️.. That's how you can play with people's mind with the beauty..!
Realistically people would also notice the one man in a completely different outfit next to all of them, with him standing out even more. However since it’s a movie I guess everyone just blinds themself to only seeing the good side of things.
@@Rowed ...Not really. They just see the man in the middle, and then go back to looking at the women. They don't care at all about who the man is.
@@Rowed This actually happened in real life. This movie was based on a true story remember
God, every scene in this movie is just perfection
Leo portrayers Frank’s character to Perfection!
When you put all your points into luck and charisma is what this movie is.
😂😂😂 The cab guy is picking up HANDRATTY!!!
Miggy Acker @ 1:19....love that name!
Of all the cons and schemes Abagnale pulls off, this to me was the most genius of all.
What got me is "6000 miles per hour". ROFLLLLLLLLLLLL
That's like Mach 7
And 300 feet nonetheless.. Which is basically as tall as the statue of liberty🤣🤣🤣
Must be some north korean missile.😂
Frank should be a world record holder for having the most occupation change in such a short time. 1 time a burglar (not really an occupation) and another as a cop. Now a freaking pilot. Lol Note - I havent seen the entire movie yet, only commented based on the clips I've seen. Edited Note (1 year later) - I have seen it all. Very entertaining and I highly recommend to watch to relax from stress/bad day.
Teacher.Prosecutor and Doctor..
Amazing scene 🥰🥰🥰
No one could've done it better than leo!!
Can you imagine disappointment of those girls when they found out it's all fake
As they are by the pool in a 5Star Hotel:)
What got me is how readily all these girls' parents were to let them go with the barest of credentials from this ONE GUY.
Such a great movie
He’s tucked away in every shot of the group walking through the airport. Visible but perfectly camouflaged. This was such a great scene.
According to Abagnale himself, he actually took the stewardesses to Europe for the 2 months he said. He didn't just slip away at the airport and ditch them. Realistically he probably made the whole stewardesses story up but meh.
6000 mph and an altitude of 300 feet. Bruh, what are you, Al Qaeda?
Almost choke myself reading your comment 😂😂😂
This movie is fabulous.
His Strategy, attracted everybody's attention, but also completely shielded him.
So, what ever happened to these 8 women he scammed into protecting him to get out of the country?
They probably got deported
Bunga bunga
They probably ended up going on the same flight as him. They probably don't care about security when it comes to stewardesses, only that they look attractive and are wearing the uniform
Once he got past security he ditched them and hoped his flight
According to the book, they traveled across Europe for the summer and went back to their homes as if it were an internship. The girls did find out later that the whole thing was a fake, and apparently took the whole thing in good humor. There was a lot of work to keep other pilots from asking questions but it worked.
