This movie, a parody of "The Maltese Falcon", has the distinction of being the worst film that I've ever paid money to watch. It was 1975, and my girlfriend entered the theater, where about 40 other people were attending. During the film's entire running time, I don't believe anybody laughed at anything on the screen. The gag with George Segal's car, the closing scene, everything fell horribly flat. In 1975, George Segal was on the verge of becoming a major movie star, but this dud certainly didn't help his career at all. Segal did much better with "Fun With Dick and Jane", then pretty much disappeared after 1980. I want my money back.
