Steve Martin stars in the hilarious spoof of 1940s film noir in Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. Rigby Reardon (Martin) is the private eyes of private eyes. He's tough, rough and ready to take on anything when Juliet Forrest (Rachel Ward) appears on the scene with a case: her father, a noted scientist, philanthropist and cheesemaker, had died mysteriously. Reardon immediately smells a rat and follows a complex maze of clues that lead him to the Carlotta Lists. With a little help from his friends, Alan Ladd, Barbra Stanwyck, Ray Milland, Burt Lancaster, Humphrey Bogart and Charles Laughton, Reardon gets his man. Directed by Carl Reiner and featuring clips of some of the most iconic film noir movies in Hollywood history, this unique film captures the fun and excitement the way of an unforgettable era in motion picture history!

Liebe Filmfreaks: Das ist ein lustiger Film. Steve Martin macht schon lange keine guten Filme mehr aber das ist noch einer seiner besten. Allein sein Gesichtsausdruck ist so cool und komisch das dieser Film von ihm alleine lebt. Superfilm.
