Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid

The Late Show!

(1982) dir Carl Reiner w/Steve Martin, Rachel Ward, Carl Reiner [88 min; DCP]
Carl Reiner and Steve Martin create an insane homage to film noir by interweaving new footage of Martin and others with clips from actual 1940s films to create an entirely new narrative. Edith Head’s final film, released shortly after her death, and a fitting tribute to her skill as a designer.
