The Cheap Detective is a 1978 parody of classic film noir such as Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon starring Peter Falk as a private detective in Nazi-occupied San Francisco in 1939-1940. It is the spiritual sequel of Neil Simon's mystery spoof Murder by Death.
The following firearms were used in the film The Cheap Detective:
Georgia Merkle (Marsha Mason) holds a Smith & Wesson Model 10 Snubnose on Peckinpaugh inside his bathroom. He takes it from her and holds it after accidentally firing it down the toilet during a struggle. Georgia uses it with an erroneous suppressor in the finale.
