Answer:
A Fish Called Wanda
Released in 1988, "A Fish Called Wanda" was one of Jamie Lee's most popular and successful films. Set in London, Jamie portrayed Wanda Gershwitz, a jewel thief plotting to outwit the other members of her gang and take all of the stolen jewels for herself. Shakespearean-trained actor Kevin Kline played Otto West, Wanda's lover and partner in crime. Michael Palin rounded-out the gang as Ken Pile, a stuttering, bumbling hit man who could only manage to kill a little old lady's pet dogs, one by one. John Cleese portrayed Archie Leach, an English barrister defending another member of the gang (and the only one who knew where the stolen jewels were hidden). Wanda seduced Archie as part of her plot, leading to inevitable complications. Jamie Lee has described "A Fish Called Wanda" and her collaboration with John Cleese as, "... one of the greatest movie experiences I've ever been part of."
Kevin Kline's performance as Otto earned him the 1989 Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. John Cleese and Michael Palin (both "Monty Python" alumni) won 1989 BAFTA Awards, for Best Actor and Best Actor in a Supporting Role, respectively. In addition to starring, Cleese was also the film's writer and executive producer.
