Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 American biographical crime drama film based on the life of Frank Abagnale, who, before his 19th birthday, Catch Me If You Can successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot, a Georgia doctor, and a Louisiana parish prosecutor. His primary crime was check fraud; he became so skillful that the FBI eventually turned to him for help in catching other check forgers. The film was directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, with Christopher Walken, Amy Adams, Martin Sheen, and Nathalie Baye in supporting roles.

Development for the film started in 1980 but did not progress until 1997 when the film rights to Abagnale's book were purchased by Spielberg's DreamWorks. David Fincher, Gore Verbinski, Lasse Hallström, Miloš Forman and Cameron Crowe had all been possible candidates for director before Spielberg decided to direct. Filming took place from February to May 2002. The film was a financial and critical success, and the real Abagnale reacted positively to it.

Frank Abagnale sold the film rights to his autobiography in 1980.[1] Executive Producer Michel Shane purchased the film rights in 1990,[2] for Paramount Pictures.[3] By December 1997, Barry Kemp purchased the film rights from Shane, bringing the project to DreamWorks, with Jeff Nathanson writing the script.[4] By April 2000, David Fincher was attached to direct over the course of a few months, but dropped out in favor of Panic Room. In July 2000, Leonardo DiCaprio had entered discussions to star, with Gore Verbinski to direct.[5][6] Steven Spielberg signed on as producer, and filming was set to begin in March 2001.[7][8]

Verbinski cast James Gandolfini as Carl Hanratty, Ed Harris as Frank Abagnale, Sr., and Chloë Sevigny as Brenda Strong.[9][10] Verbinski dropped out because of DiCaprio's commitment on Gangs of New York.[11] Lasse Hallström was in negotiations to direct by May 2001, but dropped out in July 2001. At this stage Harris and Sevigny left the film, but Gandolfini was still attached.[10][12] Spielberg, co-founder of DreamWorks, offered the job of director to Miloš Forman, and considered hiring Cameron Crowe. During this negotiation period, Spielberg began to consider directing the film himself, eventually dropping projects such as Big Fish and Memoirs of a Geisha.[8][13] Spielberg officially committed to directing in August 2001.[2]

The search for Brenda Strong's portrayer lasted months but Amy Adams was ultimately chosen. Spielberg "loved" her tape and producer Walter F. Parkes commented that she was "as fresh and honest as anyone we'd seen," which was an important element in the role. Christopher Walken was cast as Frank Abagnale, Sr. following Parkes' suggestion. Martin Sheen played Roger Strong as he had "intimidating presence". Spielberg wanted a French actress to portray Paula Abagnale to stay true the facts. He asked for Brian De Palma's help who was living in Paris and he did tests with several actresses such as Natalie Baye. Spielberg had seen Jennifer Garner on Alias and wanted her to play a small role in the film due to her busy schedule.[14]

The original start date was January 2002,[2] but was pushed to February 7 in Los Angeles, California.[15] Other locations included Burbank, Downey, New York, LA/Ontario International Airport (which doubled for Miami International Airport), Quebec City and Montreal.[16] The film was shot in 147 different locations in only 52 days. DiCaprio reflected, "Scenes that we thought would take three days took an afternoon".[17] Filming ran from April 25–30 in Park Avenue, just outside the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Production moved to Orange, New Jersey and returned to Brooklyn for bank and courthouse scenes. Shooting also took place at the TWA Flight Center at John F. Kennedy International Airport.[18] Quebec City was chosen for its European character and French feel. Place Royale, within Old Quebec, stands for Montrichard—the church in the background of the arrest scene is Notre-Dame-des-Victoires.[19] Filming ended on May 12 in Montreal.[20] Soundtrack

Main article: Catch Me If You Can (soundtrack)

The film's soundtrack was released on December 10, 2002 by DreamWorks Records. The original score was composed by John Williams. Fictions

Despite the various changes from real-life events, Abagnale believed Spielberg was the only filmmaker who "could do this film justice".[21] However, Abagnale had little involvement with the film. In November 2001, he had "never met nor spoken to Steven Spielberg and I have not read the script. I prefer not to. I understand that they now portray my father in a better light, as he really was. Steven Spielberg has told the screenplay writer (Jeff Nathanson) that he wants complete accuracy in the relationships and actual scams that I perpetrated", Abagnale reported. "I hope in the end the movie will be entertaining, exciting, funny and bring home an important message about family, childhood and divorce".[21] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_Me_If_You_Can 3/7 11/2/13 Catch Me If You Can - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Abagnale never saw his father after he ran away from home. Spielberg "wanted to continue to have that connection where Frank kept trying to please his father; by making him proud of him; by seeing him in the uniform, the Pan- American uniform". However, Abagnale praised the idea. "Even though I didn't see my dad again, every night after living a brilliant day and meeting many women, and making much money, I'd come back alone to a hotel room and I would just think of my mom and dad and fantasize about getting them back together again, and cry. It's the justification of a fantasy."[22] Carl Hanratty (portrayed by Tom Hanks) is based on FBI agent Joe Shea. In the shooting script the character was referred to as Joe Shea, but was changed to Carl Hanratty for unknown reasons.[23] Themes

Catch Me if You Can deals with themes of broken homes and troubled childhoods. Spielberg's parents divorced when he was a teenager, similar to Frank Abagnale's situation. In the film, Carl Hanratty is also divorced from his wife, who lives with their daughter in Chicago. "Some of my films have had to do with broken homes and people on the run from their sad pasts", Spielberg stated. "But there are those strands that got me to say: you know, there's something also about me that I can say through the telling of this kind of lighthearted story".[22]

Spielberg also wanted to create a film that sympathized with a crook. He explained, "Frank was a 21st century genius working within the innocence of the mid '60s, when people were more trusting than they are now. I don't think this is the kind of movie where somebody could say, 'I have a career plan.'"[22] Release

Game Show Network aired the 1977 episode of the television game show To Tell the Truth that featured Frank Abagnale. Segments "I know that Hollyw ood has made a number of changes were shown on December 29, 2002 and January 1, 2003 as to the story, but I am honored that Steven Spielberg, [24] promotion. The marketing department was careful to market the Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks participated in the film as "inspired by a true story" in order to avoid controversy making of the movie inspired by my life. It is important to similar to that surrounding A Beautiful Mind (2001) and The understand that it is just a movie, not a biographical Hurricane (1999), both of which deviated from history.[22] The documentary." premiere took place at Westwood, Los Angeles, California on —Frank Abagnale's reaction to the film[1] December 18, 2002.[25]

Reception

Catch Me If You Can was released on December 25, 2002, earning slightly above $30 million in 3,225 theaters during its opening weekend. The film went on to gross $164.6 million in North America and $187.5 million in foreign countries, coming at a worldwide total of $352.1 million. The film was a financial success, recouping the $52 million budget six times over.[26] Catch Me If You Can was the eleventh highest grossing film of 2002. Minority Report (also directed by Spielberg) was tenth highest.[27] Based on 186 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of reviews were positive.[28] Metacritic collected an average score of 76, based on 38 reviews.[29]

Roger Ebert heavily praised DiCaprio's performance, and concluded "This is not a major Spielberg film, although it is an effortlessly watchable one".[30] Mick LaSalle said it was "not Spielberg's best movie, but one of his smoothest and maybe his friendliest. The colorful cinematography, smart performances and brisk tempo suggest a filmmaker subordinating every other impulse to the task of manufacturing pleasure."[31] Stephen Hunter believed DiCaprio shows "the range and ease and cleverness that Martin Scorsese so underutilized in Gangs of New York".[32]

James Berardinelli observed, "Catch Me if You Can never takes itself or its subjects too seriously, and contains more genuinely funny material than about 90% of the so-called 'comedies' found in multiplexes these days". In addition Berardinelli praised John Williams' film score, which he felt was "more intimate and jazzy than his usual material, evoking (intentionally) Henry Mancini".[33] Peter Travers was one of few who gave the film a negative review. Travers considered Catch Me if You Can to be "bogged down over 140 minutes. A film that took off like a hare on speed ends like a winded tortoise." He also disliked Hanks' performance.[34]

At the 75th Academy Awards, Christopher Walken and John Williams were nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Original Music Score.[35] Walken won the same category at the 56th British Academy Film Awards, while Williams, costume designer Mary Zophres and screenwriter Jeff Nathanson received nominations.[36] DiCaprio was nominated the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_Me_If_You_Can 4/7 11/2/13 Catch Me If You Can - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Drama.[37] Williams also earned a Grammy Award nomination.[38] Elements of the film were later parodied in The Simpsons episode "Catch 'Em If You Can".[39]
