Peter Falk's cheapness does not come through well enough to make it a good title. It happesn in the background where we miss it if we're not paying that close attetion. All the camp and silly doesn't really amuse me.
Yes, I got all the detective movie references. Maybe it's like the Scary Movie of it's time. Only it's parodying the detective genre. Women keep throwing themselves at Falk's character.
Ann-Margret, Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kahn and Stockard Channing all vie for his attention. Kahn probably gets the best laughs with all her character always changing her story. Murry liked Margaret for her pronunciation of baubles.
In writing this review I started to dislike the film more than when I first saw it. Seems like more of a waste of time. Check out the DVD from Coos Bay and Bandon and the VHS from North Bend and Powers.
