This film is very stylish and artsy. I'm pretty sure I know what they were trying to do with the modern music, making the era seem more relatable to the younger generation. The actors do a decent job for the most part, however I would recommend the 1974 adaptation as I think it is much better in most every respect!
This film was beautifully done and very cleaver. It is a good looking movie and the clips from the old noir films blend nearly seamlessly. To cap it off this was the last film Edith Head did wardrobe for. However I feel the fancy theatrics of this film were given so much attention that the plot and humor fell flat in comparison to the other Martin/Reiner collaborations. This is definitely worth a look but if you expect the knee slapping comedy of such films as The Jerk, The Man With Two Brains or even All Of Me you might be disappointed.
