Feisty Amy does the Hustle
Amy Adams believes she and Jennifer Lawrence have — how can one say this — more ‘male attributes’ than the men in the great new movie American Hustle.
The two stars play adversaries in David O. Russell’s fictionalised picture based loosely on a real-life Seventies scandal involving con men, the FBI, a fake sheik, a Mafia don and some really cool dirty dancing.
Amy, who starred in the recent Superman (and will soon shoot its Batman vs Superman sequel) and Doubt and Russell’s award-winning The Fighter, plays a trickster who hooks up with a fellow fraudster, played by Christian Bale (they bond over Duke Ellington), who happens to be married to a fiery Jennifer Lawrence.

When Amy and Jennifer’s characters meet, sparks fly, and they seal their loathing with a whopper of a kiss.
Amy lauds Russell for finding two plum parts for women. ‘He applies what could be considered male attributes to his female characters, and they sometimes have the biggest b***s in his films,’ she told me from Los Angeles.
Amy’s character, Sydney, has the smartest moves, too, when she meets Bradley Cooper’s dandy FBI agent.
In her low-cut Seventies frock, she and Cooper, both professionally trained, perform a fabulous dance scene that very much evokes the era.

Amy said she’d love to go out dancing with Cooper off-screen, ‘but tongues would wag’.
Sydney wouldn’t ever worry about such things.
‘Sydney has great strength, but I think she’s lost morally,’ Amy attests.
On occasion, she took Sydney home.
‘I certainly wore low-cut shirts all around the house,’ she teased.
American Hustle, which opens today, is one of the year’s most delicious movies. It has multiple Golden Globe nominations and is expected to do well when Bafta and Oscar lists are announced early in January.
