Classic Tuesday: Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982)

  • Bedford Playhouse 633 Old Post Road Bedford, NY, 10506 United States (map)

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.
