Created by Peter Hyams

Goodnight My Love (1972) is a well done little private eye movie, not quite the Maltese Falcon spoof it claims, but still great fun. A scruffy, down at his heels detective, FRANK HOGAN, and his partner, a literate, well-dressed dwarf, ARTHUR BOYLE, agency are hired by naive blonde (Barbara Bain) to track down her wayward boyfriend in the seamy underworld of 1946 Los Angeles. Good script, excellent direction, supposedly. but don't take my word for it. Check out what Dick Lochte, who actually saw it, says below.

UNDER OATH

• "Peter Hyams directed and wrote this original private eye movie set in postwar 40s Los Angeles with Richard Boone and Michael Dunne as down on their luck PIs. It opens with a beautiful tracking shot of a nightclub (owned by Victor
  Buono) with singer wailing. Many consider it the Chinatown of the small screen, with good reason."
  (Dick Lochte, on Rara-Avis)
