Shamus (1973, U.S.A.)

Shamus is a loose parody of Raymond Chandler’s THE BIG SLEEP.  It centres around a Brooklyn private eye who’s a playboy, but one who’s down on his luck.  When a wealthy diamond merchant offers him a $10K reward to retrieve his stolen jewels it’s an offer too good to pass on.

There are lots of twists and turns as the private eye checks out leads on the case.

Cast:  Dyan Cannon, John Glover, Burt Reynolds and Joe Santos.
