Synopsis:
As the private eye of private eyes, Steve Martin is Rigby Reardon. He's tough, rough and ready to take on anything when Juliet Forrest appears on the scene with a case: her father, a noted scientist, philanthropist and cheesemarker has died mysteriously. Reardon immediately smells a rat and follows a complex maze of clues that lead to the 'Carlotta Lists'. With a little help from his 'friends' Alan Ladd, Barbara Stanwyck, Ray Milland, Burt Lancaster, Humphrey Bogart, Charles Laughton, and others, Reardon gets his man.

A masterpiece. - Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid review by JD

Easily Steve Martin's best film (Man with 2 brains second). I've seen it twice. There are millions of throw away lines and images which are completely brilliant.

Silly Story but humorous dialogue and amazing clips of my favourite films.Very clever.Apart from the "cleaning lady" scenes it flows quite nicely.
