The Cheap Detective (1978)

"The Cheap Detective" is a 1978 comedy spoof that pokes fun at the hardboiled noir detective pictures of old Hollywood, tossing its stars into a tangle of murder, mistaken identity, and wisecracking one-liners. Ann-Margret slots into the ensemble cast with a presence that livens up the genre parody considerably. The archive holds a single scene worth seeking out here, a glimpse of her baring skin that stands out against the film's otherwise broad comic tone. Fans hunting for a taste of her screen appeal beyond the punchlines will find that one clip worth the click.
