Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

Steve Martin and Carl Reiner, the comedic minds behind The Jerk and The Man with Two Brains, deliver Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, a hilarious and inventive comedy-noir. Martin stars as private eye Rigby Reardon, investigating the mysterious death of Juliet Forrest’s (Rachel Ward) father, a renowned scientist and cheesemaker. As Reardon follows a maze of clues and the elusive “Carlotta Lists,” he encounters classic Hollywood icons like Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Cary Grant, and Bette Davis in a clever mix of new footage and vintage clips. A witty, stylish homage to noir that’s as clever as it is fun.
