ORDER THIS TITLE
This gritty, comedic take on the film noir genre starts with a phone call from a dame. (Doesn’t it always?)
When Velma “The Songbird” Tanager calls The Daily Oracular with a tip, night desk reporter Stirling “Rocky” Rockford suddenly finds himself on the big story he’s been waiting for: Velma says she has information about the priceless Star of Skagway gem stolen that very afternoon in broad daylight! But Velma doesn’t sing quite loud enough, so Rocky turns to private investigator Samantha Spade to help him decipher Velma’s tip and catch the gem thief.
Samantha follows the trail and is soon in touch with local small-time con-man Shifty Weaselman, who promises to deliver a series of clues that will lead Samantha to the perp and put Rocky’s story above the front-page fold of the morning edition.
This easy-to-produce one-act spoof is full of short monologues and split-screen style phone calls that pays homage to The Maltese Falcon and other 1940s films of the noir genre.
