Pretty funny parody of an old detective movie Steve Martin really made it work. Using all the old clips from old movie made it pretty funny and clever.
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.
This is my favorite Steve Martin movie. I love old film noir, and in addition to being very, very funny, this film pays tribute to all those great mysteries from the '40s and '50s. The more you know about such films, the more you'll enjoy this movie. Just don't say "cleaning woman"...

I can't believe this film hasn't found an audience. It's so clever and funny. A really unique experience. Also it was the last film where Steve Martin was at the top of his game.
one of steve martins best. a great idea well realised. very witty and there are some great lines.
"your breasts are all out of whack"
"I DON'T NEED HELP WITH MY PYJAMAS"
This comedic homage to 40's and 50's film noirs is well made but it wears a bit thin after a while because of its flat premise. However what makes it decent watch is Steve Martin's funny performance and there are pretty witty scenes. Also all the scenes were Martin himself was interacting with archival clips from many of the films during that time were extremely well done. Not great as it should have been but it was an okay watch.
Occasionally amusing, but the idea of a lesser actor (Martin) poking fun at a genuine Hollywood icon (Bogart) and not being very funny in the process does not appeal at all.
Un film qui travail avec plein de "Segments" de vieux films en noir et blanc, pour faire un nouveau film avec une autre histoire. Steve Martin coule bien dans cette histoire. Mais c'est de loin d'etre un grand film, je suis plutot ravi de voir un travail aussi bien fait.
A funnily smart technical satire that wears off over the repitition. Only for film noir fans only or steve martin acting wannabes. The films good for a comedy but it doesnt have enough material to make it worth remembering. Besides the technical originality of the film sets you brainless for what the plot or characters even are... so... its one thumb up, the other down
I loved the way the incorperated the older movies into this one with dialog and all intact. A fun movie for those who love the old black & white classics
An underrated film from back when Steve Martin was funny. Using clips from classic black & white movies, he's able to share scenes with the likes of Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Bette Davis, and Veronica Lake.

Funny stuff here. Its filmed like an old detective movie but it uses clips from other movies then Steve Martin blends into them. Really good one and worth checking out.
Very cleverly made parody of the old detective movies. It uses scenes from real movies and cuts them into the film. It's pretty funny in places but even when it isn't you can still enjoy it a lot.
