Movie info

Synopsis

This ingenious comedy classic stars Steve Martin as Rigby, an inept private eye who comes to the aid of a wealthy and beautiful heiress. Intercut with scenes from noir classics, Rigby comes face to face with the private eyes and femme fatales of the silver screen: Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, Bette Davis, Veronica Lake and Ava Gardner.
