Episode 9 – Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid (1982)

Black and white, Steve Martin in a wig and dress stands in front of a grocery aisle with only two items filling the shelves, oats and something that's probably like oats and doesn't exist anymore.

As an homage to film noir and classic Hollywood, this movie was built for Mary. As a Steve Martin-Carl Reiner comedy, it was built for Dennis. Two great tastes are pretty tasty together in the 1982 film that mixes and matches films from all over the studio system into a story of murder, Nazis, and java.
