The Cheap Detective
(1978)Neil Simon's The Cheap Detective
|
With the requisite abundance of plot twists and creepy characters, playwright Neil Simon skewers film noir in a parody that combines scenes from Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon. Lou Peckinpaugh (Peter Falk), a private dick implicated in the murder of his partner, hunts down missing diamond eggs at the behest of Mrs. Montenegro (Madeline Kahn). Meanwhile, memorable cameos abound from Ann-Margret, Scatman Crothers and Abe Vigoda.
