Trixie

2000 · 116 min

A quirky, offbeat mystery that ambles along with eccentric charm, mixing low-key suspense with a wistful, slightly melancholic mood.

Tagline: The best private detective in the biz
Overview: Passed over at work and numbed after she witnesses a colleague's murder, security guard Trixie Zurbo takes a relatively easy job at a lakefront casino, working undercover keeping an eye out for pickpockets. Trixie meets an assortment of colorful regulars: Kirk Stans, the casino's lounge act who drinks too much and is a dead-on mimic; Ruby Pearli , a glamorous, young and knowledgeable barfly; and Dex Lang, a raffish ladies' man who pays attention to Trixie in a way that's hard for her to ignore.
