    An absolutely brilliant noir parody! The inner monologues, a noir staple, are executed to hilarious perfection. How this escaped my attention for so long I’ll never know. Don’t let this get past you.

    This dark noir has it all, a hard drinking, gambling PI, a dame with a past so dark you couldn't see through it and a dead body who still has a voice. Chuck in the usual brilliant Busser dark comedy and you have the perfect noir.
    And how the inner monologues start talking to each is inspired!

    If you ever were a fan of the film noir parody, this is the script for you! So fun, with the monologues crashing each other's moments. But not only is the comedy spot on, the noir is, too! A fun murder mystery solved in 10 fast paced pages!

    I enjoyed this! Great one-liners, a twist on the genre, that never took itself to seriously. Loved the last line too!

    A super fun script paying homage to noir films of yesteryear! Great idea for a play--and great dialogue, too!

    So John Busser does noir too? Of course he does, and he does it with his usual twisted, seriously silly, and hilariously polished panache. If the quips, zingers, and double entendres fly faster and more often than the bullets, well... that's just all part of the fun! Now we need more noir from Busser, preferably with his hard drinking P.I. Cliff Hammond at the center.
