Directed by Carl Reiner.
Costume designer Edith Head’s swan song came with this hilarious, comedy-noir from Carl Reiner, in which Steve Martin’s private detective interacts with some of classic Hollywood’s greatest stars through clips taken from earlier films. The hilarious mash-up of classic and contemporary scenes called upon Head to re-create a world she had helped to invent, imagining and re-creating period costumes with aplomb.
