Sequestro pericoloso (1971)
Eddie Ginley, cabarettista e annunciatore di bingo, decide di provare la strada del suo mito letterario: il detective privato Philip Marlowe. Suo fratello e la sua ex cercano di farlo desistere, ma lui mette un annuncio e presto si trova assunto da un misterioso ciccione. Questi lo cala in un intrigo terribilmente complesso tra Liverpool e Londra, nel quale sono coinvolti trafficanti di droga e armi e persino politici africani.
