WHEN Frank W. Abagnale Junior (Leonardo DiCaprio) walks into his new school he decides not to bother trying to make friends - instead he takes over as teacher.
But who needs school anyway, when there are so many more exciting jobs to be had? Young Frank has big ideas and thinks being an airline pilot could hold the ticket to all his dreams - that uniform opens so many doors and attracts some lovely ladies.
And when he tires of the skies, well he's always fancied becoming a doctor or a lawyer.
Incredibly, Catch Me If You Can is inspired by the true story of a brillant young master of deception and forgery and the FBI agent (Tom Hanks) who is hot on his trail.
It's a superb tale, with the fabulous Christopher Walken, who won a BAFTA for his role, playing Frank's dad.
The soundtrack featuring Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole is an added bonus.
