Mark H @RT99794489 Nov 30 Meh. Maybe cute...and good to see old school major Hollywood actresses in their prime...but not really a comedy, unless 'awkward' is a subcategory. See more Alain E @AlainE Nov 20 This is a playful exercise in cinematic history. Steve Martin is a film noir private eye who is investigating the suspicious death of a prominent scientist/cheese maker at the request of his seductive daughter. On this basic story quite successfully the filmmakers grafted pieces from previous movies from the canon, thus giving a second life to Humphrey Bogart, Ava Gardner, Joan Crawford and numerous other stars of historic Hollywood. The present film is shot in black and white which makes the transition smoother, although of course some of the old stock has significantly more grain. Overall the result is quite pleasant. According to Wikipedia the title refers to a scene that it was ultimately cut from the movie! Don’t worry. This is not the only inconsistency being served.

Although, in order to have that sort of engaging effect it seems more on insisting that you watched the noir genre frequently than converting towards further discovery, otherwise the experiment will be mediocrely received but will nonetheless intrigue.

See more Farah R @Farah 05/08/2025 A film so ambitious and wittingly executed, Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid is an outrageously creative and fun comedy. The story gets a little jumbled along the way but the movie never ceases the chance for a good gag. It’s definitely worth watching.
