The Manchu Eagle Murder Caper Mystery (1975)


Directed by Dean Hargrove. Found on Youtube (again.) I found this a few years ago after watching Little Murders (1971) with Vincent Gardenia, where he was hilarious. I looked up his credits on IMDb and saw this title. A Maltese Falcon parody. Chicken farmer who wants to be a private eye. That old story. Every movie nerd has experienced watching a movie and 10-15 minutes in you know exactly how it is going to turn out. Well, this is the exact opposite. 10-15 minutes into this movie and you are saying this is the strangest goddamn detective movie I've ever seen. Gabriel Dell, Huntz Hall, Will Geer, Joyce Van Patten, Dick Gautier, Barbara Harris, Sorrell Booke, Jackie Coogan, Nicholas Colasanto, Nita Talbot, Howard Storm.
