The Singing Detective

  (2003)
A Chicago novelist (Robert Downey Jr.) lies bedridden and feverish with an extreme case of psoriasis. Out of boredom, he reworks (in his own mind) the story of his first novel, The Singing Detective, putting himself in the role of the title character. He concocts a fantasy world in which he's in hot pursuit of Nazis in the 1940s, with the help of a few musical numbers. Based on a 1986 BBC miniseries, the film co-stars Robin Wright Penn and Mel Gibson.
