You don't have to be familiar with Casablanca

You don't have to be familiar with Casablanca or The Maltese Falcon to appreciate the humor but it helps. Writer Neil Simon has thoroughly spoofed both classics.

First ten minutes are hilarious, then it goes

First ten minutes are hilarious, then it goes downhill. Really tedious.

Fabulous cast takes easy potshots at the detective genre, with entertaining results. It doesn’t take itself seriously, and neither should you. Just let some great comedians work.
