 The Spanish Prisoner The Spanish Prisoner Quote: The Spanish Prisoner is a 1997 American suspense film, written and directed by David Mamet and starring Campbell Scott, Steve Martin, Rebecca Pidgeon, Ben Gazzara and Ricky Jay. The film tells the story of an elaborate confidence game, known as the Spanish Prisoner.
In 1999 the film was nominated by the Mystery Writers of America for the Edgar Award for Best Motion Picture Screenplay but lost out to Steven Soderbergh's Out of Sight.

Re: The Spanish Prisoner A terrifically plotted, carefully constructed thriller. Mamet's typically on-point dialogue is matched only by his assured direction and superb storytelling.
If I have one complaint, it's that it ends too soon and too easily. I wanted this game to go on much longer.
