The Cheap Detective
1978 · 92 min.
Review
Neil Simon and Robert Moore, the scriptwriter and the director respectively of "Murder by Death", are back with another spoof. This time they parody the films in which Humphrey Bogart plays the tough hero, and it is very funny. Peter Falk plays the detective.
