I liked this when I saw it maybe ten years ago but today it was more tasteless and less funny than I recalled.  (Or maybe it was Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid that I liked.)  Carl Reiner directed and cowrote.

I couldn't get into this '80s film noir, partly although not entirely due to William Hurt's mustache.  It felt like a symbol of how the movie wasn't what it thought it was, in this case, sexy or suspenseful, at least in the first quarter-hour.  Still, there's some curiosity value and it does have a pre-Cheers Ted Danson in glasses.  Lawrence Kasdan wrote and directed.
