The Cheap Detective (1978 Robert Moore)

Silly attempt to replicate classic Bogart films, particularly The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca. Great cast but terrible, childish script - by Neil Simon, believe it or not - only one joke in fifteen works. We only made it halfway through.

Peter Falk, Ann-Margret, Eileen Brennan, Sid Caesar, Stockard Channing, James Coco, Dom DeLuise, Louise Fletcher, John Hoseman, Madeline Kahn, Marsha Mason, Nicol Williamson, Scatman Crothers, James Cromwell etc.

A Ray Stark production, with Margaret Booth as Associate Producer. Well photographed by John A Alonzo.
