Review of Gumshoe

Gumshoe (1971)
5/10
Dreary and uneven blend of mystery, comedy, and drama
8 January 2001
An excellent cast does its utmost, but the results can be characterized as uneven at best. This movie had many clever ideas, and should have saved half of them for another film. It also alternates uncomfortable between laughing at its characters and laughing with them. Still, there are several brilliant scenes that will reward those with the tenacity to stick with it, especially in the film's last third. My rating -- 6/10.
