Un detective curioso (1975)
El detective privado de Los Ángeles Leslie Tucker recibe de una mujer rica llamada Anglich el encargado de que localice a su hija, perdida desde hace mucho tiempo. Las aventuras detectivescas de Tucker lo conducen a mantener varios encuentros con un alucinante muestrario de personajes excéntricos y a veces peligrosos, hasta que se tropieza con la extraña familia Prendergast. La resolución del misterio da como resultado acontecimientos extraños, giros divertidos y un toque de terror. Adaptación de una novela de Keith Laumer, que pretende ser una revisión irónica de los mitos del cine negro clásico.
Directora: Peter Hyams
