Steve Martin’s Affectionate Parody of 1940’s Thrillers
Rigby Reardon, private eye, runs the gauntlet of hoods, femmes fatales and crazed Nazis as he investigates the death of beautiful Juliet Forrest’s father. Who are the mysterious “Friends of Carlotta”? And why does Rigby keep dressing in women’s clothes? And where did Juliet learn to do that trick with her lips? This celebration of the black and white movies of the 1940’s and 50’s is a very clever and very amusing film. Extracts from celluloid classics are skilfully spliced into the action (check out the architectural detail on the doorframe in the Alan Ladd sequence). The film is a vehicle for Martin’s comic talent and he carries it off beautifully. Rachel Ward as Juliet is terrific: she can hold her own with the screen goddesses who so liberally populate the film (Bergman, Davis, Turner and Crawford all make inserted appearances). A project like this could easily have come a cropper, but thanks to the brisk direction of Carl Reiner (who has a great cameo) and Steve Martin’s ability to dominate the screen, the movie is a resounding success. It’s also very funny.
