AroView: Paying sly homage to Bogart, Chandler and Hammett, this sly detective spoof is the directorial debut of prolific British director Stephen Frears. Albert Finney stars as a Liverpool comedian who dreams of emulating his heroes as a private eye, and gets more than he bargained for after placing an ad in the local newspaper.
