Well, anyway, Trixie does get her chance to solve a case, and she does eventually come up with a resolution, not that we care. It was meant to be a parody of the film noir detective stories, and it has the requisite components. All the characters lie to each other all the time. All the characters are of such low moral character as to make the John Huston character in Chinatown seem like Dr Albert Schweitzer. Everybody in the film might have committed the murder, and all of them act suspicious and guarded, as if they did the crime.
Nobody ever gives anybody else a straight or helpful answer.
It's Raymond Chandler on acid in the year 2000. Unfortunately, they forgot one tiny, almost insignificant little detail. A parody is comedic. Well, anybody could have made that mistake. DVD info from Amazon .
