A must have for classic noir lovers
Very funny. Well edited movie that uses footage from many classic black and white mysteries to create an original story. It is very funny. This is a must have if you like watching other film clips (it’s especially funny if you know the original scenes already as they are taken out of context to create an original story).Read full review

Rachel Ward Umm
Rachel Ward is a doll, so cute and funny with Steve Martin being his crazy self. I had seen the movie in the early 80's and really enjoyed it again.

Detective film noir on laughing gas.
A hilarious homage to detective film noir. My dad taped a copy off TV on our Betamax when I was a kid, and I didn't realize it, but they had actually edited some of the content, and it was a bit less silly (and less obviously raunchy), actually making it a ~better~ movie. I plan on downloading some editing software, and putting my childhood memory edits back in to a copy so I can enjoy it that way too. Still, I enjoyed this version as well, as will you if you enjoy old time film noir at all, and good old Steve Martin.Read full review

Phenomenal Martin noir classic spoof
This film classic from 1981 is one of Steve Martin's finest, from his post-SNL days. This movie brilliantly pays homage tribute to silver screen greats of the 1930s and 1940s, including James Cagney, Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, and Humphrey Bogart, in cleverly edited collage footage clips from 19 vintage films. A definite must-see, for any Steve Martin fan, and especially, the brilliant work of Carl Reiner, and the classic film studio talents, who brought such enigmatic artistry to the silver screen.Read full review

Great film for old movie buffs
The way they tied in old classic films and made this have the feel of a classic story and score is excellent. My favorite Steve Martin film. Rachel Ward and Carl Reiner are perfect in their roles. Fun movie to watch to see lots of old stars. Edith Head’s last film. Read full review

Amazing picture.
“Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid,” is a really amazing film. All the different old movie clips they implemented and matched the various tones of the black and white film, blending it all, quite a feat in itself. The acting was fantastic and the costumes that Edith Head was able to bring back to the screen was as always perfection. Great movie in every way!!!!Read full review
