Lou gets a new client when Mrs. Montenegro (Madeline Kahn) and her cronies (John Housman, Paul Williams and Dom DeLuise) hire him to search out a dozen diamond eggs. Marlene DuChard (Louise Fletcher) also comes to him for help of a complicated nature. In this madcap comedy written by Neil Simon, obstacles and complications appear every few minutes, and a great many famous actors show up in hilarious cameos. Clarke Fountain, Rovi

THE CHEAP DETECTIVE is a great comedy with an incredible cast of outstanding stars and character actors. The film is an exceptionally well made parody of The Maltese Falcon. All of the greatest movie clichés are cleverly worked into the dialog and it produces almost constant laughs, especially for film buffs, without being silly. Very enjoyable. Highly recommended.
