Review of Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) by Robbie V — 24 Mar 2016
Steve Martin and Carl Reiner reteam after "The Jerk" for this parody and loving homage to the film noirs of 40s and 50s, which throws Martin into old footage from classic movies and reworks them into a new story.
It is good fun, and Martin is his usual best as the lead. If you enjoy old noir films, this is a fun comedy film, but I really think you have to have an appreciation of those old films to really get into this.
I love oddball comedies like this.
