Adventures of a Private Eye

1977 · 96 min

Silly, smirking seventies comedy of mishaps, easy to watch, with broad innuendo doing most of the work.

Tagline: The clever dick who uncovers EVERYBODY!
Overview: While a private detective is away on vacation, his not particularly bright assistant takes it upon himself to "solve" a case that comes in. Complications ensue.
How it feels: Light, campy, absurd and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Crime, deception, identity, love
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
