Detective sin licencia (1971)
Eddie Ginley (Albert Finney), un presentador y animador de veladas de cabaret, es un apasionado de la literatura policiaca que vive obsesionado con la idea de convertirse en un personaje de Dashiell Hammett. Así, un día, publica un anuncio ofreciéndose como detective privado. Pronto se le presenta el primer caso: un desconocido se pone en contacto con él y le envía una importante suma de dinero, una pistola y una fotografía para que haga desaparecer a una joven universitaria, hija de un militar. Ginley se ve entonces involucrado en una serie de turbios asuntos ligados a la política, a las drogas y al tráfico de armas. (FILMAFFINITY)
