Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! or Fletch, start here.
The mood
Light and funny, tense.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off
Made in 1941: an older pace and style.

A high-society gent has a secret life - he writes murder mysteries and hangs out with the police attempting to solve crimes. This causes him no end of problems when his wife wants to know about his little disappearances and exceptionally late nights out.
