Full Plot Details

Juliet Forrest is convinced that the reported death of her father in a mountain car crash was no accident. Her father was a prominent cheese scientist working on a secret recipe. To prove it was murder, she enlists the services of private eye Rigby Reardon. He finds a slip of paper containing a list of people who are "The Friends and Enemies of Carlotta." Searching for answers, Rigby encounters assorted low-lifes: dangerous men and women who were the hallmarks of the classic detective movies of the 40's and 50's. Filming in black and white allows scenes from old movies to be cut into this film. It is through this process that Rigby's assistant is none other than Philip Marlowe himself.

Movie Reviews

CinePassion - 10/10 by Fernando F. CroceA parlor trick, but the kind -- an inquiring jester making his way through the ghosts of cinema's past -- that gets Godard at the Moviola to layer Histoire(s) together
Associated Press - 10/10 by Bob ThomasThe novelty value wears thin, and attention wanders as the plot turns grow more obscure. But there are enough outrageous gags to please the faithful.
Austin Chronicle - 9/10 by Adrienne MartiniMartin's inner giddiness makes Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid a classic. This loose film is more than a spoof of the hard-boiled noir of the Forties and Fifties; it is a tribute to the wonderful memories these films created in a generation.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Steve SimelsThe vintage footage is seamlessly integrated into the action, and the end result is both very funny and very true to the conventions of the detective movie.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by Shane BurridgeIt makes my head spin to think how many viewing hours must have been spent in order to knit this story together
Empire - 8/10 by William ThomasThe technique used here to plonk Martin in classic movies seems out of place given the kind of sophisticated effects we have on tap today, but there is a real sense of fun at work nonetheless.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Vincent CanbyA genial, gently mocking, brilliantly executed spoof that may offend the purists but which should delight the buffs.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThis is Carl Reiner's cleverly adapted spoof on noir films of the post-World War 11 days.
Newsweek - 7/10 by David AnsenCarl Reiner comedy whose technical execution (Michael Chapman's cinematography is masterful) is better than its script.
eFilmCritic.com - 6/10 by Scott WeinbergMainly for the noir geeks and the Steve Martin fans -- and I'm both.
