He's tough, rough and ready to take on anything when Juliet Forrest (Rachael Ward) appears on the scene with a case: her father, a noted scientist, philanthropist and cheesemaker has died mysteriously. Reardon immediately smells a rat and follows a complex maze of clues that lead to the "Carlotta Lists." With a little help from his "friends," Alan Ladd, Barbara Stanwyck, Ray Milland, Burt Lancaster, Humphrey Bogart, Charles Laughton, etc., Reardon gets his man. An exciting, action-fun packed film the way 40's films used to be! TrailersNone Critical ReceptionRotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 78% based on reviews from 23 critics.

This week on Movieing On, we sit down to watch a movie by the same writer and the same director - as well as the same lead actor - as the fantastically dreadful Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid from back in October of 2015. It's Steve Martin's The Man with Two Brains, now on a CSICON podcast near you. Show notes and links: The Man with Two Brains (1983) (imdb.com)
It's a film noir parody - and most of us really didn't like it. At all. Show notes and links: 118 118 ITV Sponsorship (vimeo.com). Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) (imdb.com). "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" Trials and Tribble-ations (TV Episode 1996) (imdb.com).
