Gumshoe

With his career in the Liverpool clubs going nowhere, failed comic Eddie Ginley (Albert Finney) put his fixation with Yank private eye movies to work and advertised his services as a detective. His first case quickly finds him in over his head with international intrigue and murderous heroin smugglers in this trenchant trench coat tickler. Stephen Frears' directorial debut co-stars Billie Whitelaw, Frank Finlay, Janice Rule, Carolyn Seymour; score by Andrew Lloyd Webber. 86 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English mono.
