    Segal perfect in a funny and affectionate tribute
    Lee Patrick and Elisha Cook jnr. Reprise their roles from The Maltese Falcon. Old timer Lionel Stander joins them and Segal in a movie which is consistently entertaining. It made me smile. I laughed 3 aloud times, twice at incidents which occur in the background. Not all the humour is good but then the next crack arrives and I don't care.
