Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid : 3 of 5

Certainly not the best Steve Martin movie (my favorite is The Man with Two Brains, but The Jerk is a close second), but still a nice effort at making a film noir spoof using classic movie footage. They could do a much better technical job today, but the combination of Steve's dialog with old movie stars is still pretty clever. The plot is kind of a jumble, but that's OK, since there are a few total gem lines that are worth waiting for (including the "adjusting your breasts" gag and "Can I use her underwear to make soup?"). Unfortunately, there are also some jokes that miss, like the 30 seconds of pouring coffee grounds into a pot to make his "famous java".
