Neil Simon’s witty, Bogie-obsessed, all-star spoof The Cheap Detective follows Columbo‘s Peter Falk as a boozy gumshoe in 1940s San Francisco. He knows every cheap trick, cheap joke, cheap shot and cheap dame in the book. And now he’s got to solve his partner’s murder before he gets hauled in for the crime.
“The Cheap Detective, which might also be called Son of Casablanca, is a hilarious and loving takeoff on all 1940s Warner Bros private eye and foreign intrigue mellers.” – Variety
