The second and best attempt by Neil Simon to write specifically for the cinema - Highly unique.

I always love Neil Simon...but I think it turned into a weird movie. I was kind of bored most of the time. Madeline Kahn was brilliant though.

Rather strange Neil-Simon penned send up on Humphrey Bogart movies. Actually, ths totally feels like Simon's attempt at Mel Brooks-style humor. Tons and tons of dumb jokes waiting for a punchline, a cast that shouldn't be doing comedy, and so on. A bit of a labor to watch.

It's Peter Falk! What's not to love?

Tim M 27 Jul 2008

With an all-star cast and paroding hits of Bogart like The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca this was sure to be funny. Indeed it was and of course Peter Falk was great as the detective (when is he not? Colombu anyone?). Not really memerable in the long run but a fun way to spend a hour and a half.
