Do you remember the movie effect in "Forrest Gump" where Gump shakes hands with the President of the United States? Its lifelike effect created a sensation worldwide. In fact, long before this film, director Carl Reiner had attempted to splice performances of contemporary comedians with scenes from classic films featuring well-known actors. This ultimately led to the creation of the creatively hilarious comedy film "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid."   This film is a tribute to 1940s detective movies, co-written by Steve Martin and director Carl Reiner, with Steve Martin playing a private detective assigned to investigate the truth behind a scientist's death. However, during the investigation, he encounters a bizarre group of suspects…   To seamlessly splice in clips from classic old films, the entire movie was shot in black and white, allowing actors from both the old and new generations to blend together seamlessly. The film cleverly utilizes editing and directorial skills to bring Hollywood's big stars together on screen in a humorous way, providing fans with supreme entertainment. Rachel Ward, the lead actress from "The Thorn Birds," plays a seductive client in the film.
