Michael Shayne: Private Detective Ratings & Reviews
Ticklish Business
Kimberly Pierce
All in all, Michael Shayne: Private Detective is a fun and easy watch. However, while theres a definite sprinkle of the hard-boiled private eyes so popular in film noir, this movie is far more at home among the literary detective franchises of the 1930s.
