I somehow see the David Suchet version of Hercule Poirot as being the penultimate in the "quiet, subtle but effective as hell Dom" category.

There was a very '80s (and pretty good) remake of that one.

While we're on the subject, can anyone remember a detective series, or maybe it was just a film, that involved a big ugly blond man and a dwarf? It had a strange, whistling sort of theme tune. Wish I knew the name of it.

Most of these detective series and films I remember particularly because of their theme tunes . . . .

@tazzygrl oh wow you're right, bones pretty much is moonlighting. good call.

@anaxagoras i have a strange devotion to murder she wrote. it is as close as american television ever came to campion (which alas i just discovered is no longer streamable on netflix)

jim rockford was my personal hero. i always wanted jim rockford and magnum pi to go head to head in a hot sweaty tournament of awesomeness.

also mad love for columbo, but i didn't even mention columbo in the op because there can never be another columbo. there could, perhaps, someday be another banacek, for better or for worse.

I dunno Peon.. the only dwarf i can think of that was in a tv series was Hervé Villechaize in Fantasy Island but there was no blond guy that i can remember.. Hervé Villechaize was also in a Bond movie (The Man with the Golden Gun).

I am sure it will come to you.. at some strange place and time.. lol

Showing my vintage, but it is SO cool.

Kickass tune/theme song.
THE BRAINS (ATLANTA) DO A FUNKY "PETER GUNN"

They did a show at the Agora Ballroom in 79 and opened with Peter Gunn. Alto Sax, as I recall. Straight-up, not a funk version.

I'm trying to remember a show about a blond guy and a dwarf - can't think of anything.

Castle is sort of a Moonlighting show too I think.

There was a movie that came out a bit more than 20 years ago. It was done in a film noir style, and it was really good (and pretty funny if I remember correctly) it wasn't who framed roger rabbit and it didn't have madonna in it. I wish I could remember that movie (and the name of it) because I'd love to watch it again.


Was it perhaps Dragnet with Dan Ackroyd and Tom Hanks?

I loved the original series.  Yes, I'm that old.

It was a movie about a detective...it was not a well-known movie at the time (or any time as far as I know) I don't think the people in it were famous, but I could be wrong about the last part. : (

A funny movie about a detective?  Now it's going to drive me crazy trying to figure that one out.  LOL

Status: offline 		The only ones from the early '90s that spring to mind are The (Shitawful) Adventures Of Ford Farlaine (which was ostensibly a comedy, despite resembling more an excuse for the loathsome Andrew Dice Clay to insult people for two hours), and the dodgy attempt at a Mike Hammer send up with Pamela Anderson-Lee-Anderson-Lee-Anderson as his secretary.
Both have fairly famous people in the cast, so I doubt it's either, though...

Okay - I have one thought - it has the big weird blond guy and a dwarf - Foul Play with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn - there was a blond albino as a bad guy and there was a dwarf.  I wouldn't consider it Film Noir though. 
Since you mentioned Who Framed Roger Rabbit - there also was a movie Cool World kind of in the same theme.  That was kind of a film noir - not sure about the cast though. 
Just one more for your consideration - High Anxiety (one of my favorite movies ever btw).  I don't think it meets your details but in a way a little film noir.

This has been really driving me crazy...lol

Someone mentioned before Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid.  I'll keep thinking about it!
