It pays homage to 1940s detective films....using scenes from those films.

I love this movie. I always felt it is hugely underrated.

I love noir but despite several viewings, this spoof is only mildly amusing at best to me. The B&W looks great and the scenes and actors from classic films look great but the plot is just too silly for me I guess.

Finally got around to watching it and really enjoyed it. I even recognized many of the clips and got the in-joke references. Watched it with a friend who knows nothing about old movies and thereby wasn't distracted by the "where is that from ?" aspect and he liked it too.

When this first came out there was a standee in the lobby of the theater where I worked with a full size picture of Steve Martin as Rigby Reardon. There was a small speaker hidden behind his mouth and about once every minute he would speak. "Smile or I'll blow your lips off"...and other phrases uttered by Steve Martin.
