    Peeper? I've never heard a PI called a "Peeper"

    Bumbling PI Leslie C Tucker (Michael Caine) is hired to track down a little girl who was adopted many years ago. Her real father has an inheritance he wants to pass on to her. He tracks the girl to a wealthy family, but there are two daughters. Which of the sisters was adopted? And of course, there are others who would do just about anything to get their hands on the loot.

    Peeper is supposedly a film noir spoof. I say "supposedly" because you would expect a spoof to be funny. Watching Peeper, not only did I not laugh, I don't think I even smiled. The script isn't anywhere near as clever and witty as it thinks it is. The jokes fall flat. In fact, flat is a pretty good adjective to use to describe the whole thing. The comedy is flat. The action is flat. The mystery is flat. The acting is flat. Caine is fine, but he's given an abysmal script to work with. It doesn't help much that he has about zero on-screen chemistry with co-star Natalie Wood. Even their scenes together are, well, they're also flat.

    Another big problem I had with Peeper is how cheap it all seems. The film is set in the 1940s. Instead, Peeper looks like a poorly dressed film that can't hide its 1970s origins. Rarely did anything have an authentic 1940s feel. The supporting cash doesn't help any either. It's not necessarily their fault, but Michael Constantine, Thayer David, and Don Calfa have a 1970s TV vibe about them.

    I honestly think Peeper might have been better had they just made a straightforward 1940s-style PI flick - without the attempts at comedy. I really think I would have enjoyed that much more. As for film noir spoofs, nothing beats Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. Now that's a funny movie.

    Not very good, but a curio.

    I don't think Peeper is a very good film, but I agree that it shouldn't have completely fallen off the map the way it did. It was given a belated if limited DVD release last year.

    Timing was not on this film's side. Chinatown paid tribute to film noir in classic fashion only a year before it was released; Play It Again, Sam had spoofed it successfully only a year before that. Those two films, not to mention the films of the film noir era, leave Peeper looking very slight indeed.

    Still, Caine has fun as an almost bumbling detective, and Natalie brings smarts and unparalleled sex appeal to her role as a shady lady. The supporting cast is pretty nigh flawless as well, and production values couldn't be better. The script, unfortunately, doesn't add add up to much.

    Director Hyams, in a special feature interview, recalls telling Natalie to turn around at the end of a long tracking shot at the end of a long day. She asked what would motivate her to do that and he answered that the camera couldn't follow her if she didn't. She paused and said, "okay, I can feel that". It's too bad that at no point in her last decade did Natalie get to make a movie where character motivation was prioritized, but it's unsurprising to hear that she was a good sport about it.

    Peeper the Sleeper

    I like this film. It has a bit of the old 40s, late 30s private eye aspect to it but Michael Caine in his unmistakable London accent puts a new twist on the tale, which includes the very lovely Natalie Wood. the film never clicked and it's now relegated to the back of the pile, no video, no DVD and something that might show up on the late show. But, hey! I liked it and suggest you check it out if it comes across your viewing circumstances.

    Tired Film Noir Spoof

    Michael Caine is a PI in Los Angeles just after the War. Michael Constantine comes to him and asks him to find his daughter. He had put her in an orphanage in 1918. When he had come back three years later, she had been adopted by a man in a photo. Now he wants Caine to track him down in a plot which mimis and spoofs every nourish movie Humphrey Bogart was in. Along the way he encounters Natalie Wood, who may be the object of his job.

    To make the point, the credits are spoken at the beginning by impressionist Guy Marks. It's based on a story by Keith Laumer, a science fiction writer whose works tended to be.... pretty much all the same in his series, and adapted by W.D. Richter, who would write and direct the Doc Savage pastiche THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI the following decade. Director Peter Hyams keeps the dialogue moving as fast as he can, but the mannered snappy prose is most of what makes this a spoof...and sounding like the audience has heard it all before.

    Witty script hurt by lack of visual clarity

    A semi-spoofish deconstruction of 1940s film noir tropes, "Peeper" has plenty of witty dialogues - and monologues - delivered by Michael Caine in his inimitable style ("President Truman said there is now a boom in U. S. economy, but although I leave my window open every night I still can't hear it"), but it is underlit to an excessive degree, and filled with too many overacted "thugs" who are impossible to tell apart (we never really learn why they are after Caine's character, either). This one might have worked better as a radio program. **1/2 out of 4.

    • Anecdotes
      The opening titles are not printed or written out on screen, but are instead spoken to the audience by Humphrey Bogart impersonator and impressionist Guy Marks. This performance has often been erroneously attributed to Jerry Lacy, who had played Bogart in Herbert Ross' and Woody Allen's Tombe les filles et tais-toi (1972).
    • Gaffes
      The cruise liner at the end of the film looks far too modern for 1947. It is the MS Starward, built in 1968, and still in service today as the MV Orient Queen.
