Peeper

1975 · 87 min

A breezy, playful send-up of old detective movies, full of witty banter and silly twists that keep you smiling without demanding much thought.

Tagline: Back in '47, a gun was a roscoe, a private-eye was a Peeper, and murder was okay as long as nobody got hurt. In fact, anything was okay with this Peeper on the case because he wouldn't know who-done-it even if he done it himself.
Overview: A detective is hired to locate a girl adopted 30 years earlier whose birth father wants to bequeath her his fortune.
How it feels: Satirical, light, cynical and whimsical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Deception, identity, greed, family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
