Late Show (1977)
Ira Wells, an aging private eye and Academy Award winner Art Carney, has agreed to help a Hollywood kook named Margo, played by Lily Tomlin, locate her missing cat. Little does he know, however, that he's got a tiger by the tail. The Late Show, written and directed by three-time Oscar winner Robert Benton (Kramer vs. Kramer), is a brilliant, funny, and gutsy modern-day homage to 1940s detective thrillers.
Like his contemporaries Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade, the gimpy-legged Ira is one of the great ones, as evidenced by Carney's 1977 National Society of Film Critics Best Actor Award for his performance. Will this one last case, and this one flaky lady, give him one last chance to prove his worth?
The Late Show invites audiences to stay up and solve the mystery alongside Ira Wells. With its engaging plot and captivating characters, the film offers a nostalgic yet fresh take on the classic detective genre. Benton's skilled direction and the talented cast's performances seamlessly blend humor, suspense, and a touch of grit, creating a cinematic experience that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
Aging private eye Ira Wells, portrayed by the acclaimed Art Carney, is tasked with a seemingly simple task of locating Margo's missing cat. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that this case is far from ordinary. Lily Tomlin's portrayal of the eccentric Margo adds an endearing and unpredictable element to the narrative, keeping the audience guessing as to the true nature of her involvement.
The film's homage to the classic detective thrillers of the 1940s is evident in its stylistic choices and the way it explores the themes of loyalty, morality, and the pursuit of justice. Benton's masterful storytelling weaves a tapestry of intrigue, blending the nostalgic elements of the genre with contemporary sensibilities.
The Late Show is a testament to the enduring appeal of the detective story, with its multilayered plot and well-developed characters drawing the viewer deeper into the mystery. Carney's nuanced performance as the world-weary yet determined Ira Wells is a standout, as he navigates the complexities of the case and his own personal struggles.
In the end, The Late Show offers a refreshing and engaging take on the detective genre, blending humor, drama, and a touch of noir to create a cinematic experience that resonates with audiences both old and new. Whether you're a fan of classic detective stories or simply enjoy a well-crafted narrative, this film is sure to captivate and entertain.
