Steve Martin Collection (The Jerk/The Lonely Guy/Dead Men Dont Wear Plaid)

Film Description

3 comedy capers from the Steve Martin archive, back when he was so effortlessly funny.

The Jerk (Carl Reiner, 1979). Sticks are slapped, balls are screwed and caps are mad in this classic Steve Martin comedy about an idiot's journey from rags, to riches - and back to rags again.

The Lonely Guy (Arthur Hiller, 1984). A writer who works for a greeting card company rediscovers the meaning of loneliness when he suddenly finds himself single. But his life is turned upside down when a book of his experience becomes a surprise best seller.

Dead Men Dont Wear Plaid (Carl Reiner, 1982). Noir parody in which Steve Martin plays inept private eye Rigby Reardon who has to go to the aid of a beautiful heiress. Filmed in black and white and intercut with scenes from old movies - allowing a starring role for Humphrey Bogart!
