MCT:June 28, 2008Steve Martin, Rachel Ward and Carl Reiner are the only three actors who are "really" in this movie. The rest of the characters are made up of clips from old 1940s movies, featuring Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Veronica Lake, Bette Davis, Alan Ladd, Ingrid Bergman, and others. This isn't the funniest comedy ever made, but it is probably the most ingenious. Through clever editing and intricate duplication of old sets (this was before CGI), Reiner took small clips of old classics and, with new footage shot to look like it is from the same era, reassembled it into a whole new plot. It's great fun to watch, especially if you're a movie buff. The ongoing joke throughout the film where Steve Martin is constantly nagging Humphrey Bogart about how he dresses ("Are you wearing a tie?") is probably one of the funniest uses of editing you'll see.

Very very very interesting movie with all those combining with scenes from old classics with cult actors. Excellent parody...... Steve Martin did a good job........... And I liked it..........

A great satirical comedy that parodies great Hollywood noir films of the '40s. What makes the movie exceptional is the use of digitally-imposing past Hollywood stars such as Bogart and Bergman in scenes with Steve Martin.

So well done, the old footage fits in so well, and Steve does some hilarious stuff with it. A really good mixture of Homage and Comedy.

MCT:June 2, 2008My favourite Steve Martin Film. A brilliant homage to the Film Noir era, and the intertwined clips are done perfectly. I laugh my ass off everytime i watch this film & im always impressed at how clever it is. ''You think thats impressive, watch this.''
