Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid is a 1982 American neo-noir comedy-mystery film, directed by Carl Reiner and starring Steve Martin, Rachel Ward and Reiner. Co-written by Reiner, Martin & George Gipe, the film is both a parody of and an homage to film noir and the pulp detective films of the 1940s. The title refers to Martin's character telling a story of a woman obsessed with plaid, a scene which was ultimately cut from the film.
