One of my favorite parts about Peter Falk in #TheCheapDetective was the parody of Sam and Archer's wife. "It's one thing going around your partner's back when he's alive. But when he's dead...it's wrong!" #TCMParty #SummerOfDarkness #TheMalteseFalcon

Is the guy in the phone meant to be Peter Lorre or Clint Howard?

Somehow I did’t even know this film existed until a few years ago when I did a ”Comedy Noir” theme for Noirvember

It was a fun night of frivolous mystery - the best kind.

People complain about pop culture's Big Nostalgia obsession for the '80s in particular these days but the 1970s loved Golden Age throwbacks like #TheCheapDetective, though this was late in the trend. #FlicksForAll

These scenes need a dramatic noir score like Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid does.

For all its noir spoof stylings, this feels remarkably like a regular Neil Simon play

I thought this was supposed to be a #themaltesefalcon parody? This is much more #casablanca... for now.

This ending was shot in the exact same soundstage as used in Casablanca (1946)

Watching Marsha Mason in #TheCheapDetective and The Goodbye Girl is awkward for me because I saw the hilarious SCTV parody of Simon's work ("Neil Simon's Nutcracker Suite" from their first Xmas show) and Andrea Martin's spoof of Mason was way too accurate... #FlicksForAll
