It’s so bizarre, but Fletch strikes a chord as Chevy Chase takes his pompousness to a whole new level in this 80s comedy classic. He is a wisecracking investigative newspaper reporter, Irwin M. Fletcher, who writes under the name of Jane Doe and gets mixed up with the underworld in the city of angels.

Chevy Chase again turns in a classic performance, this time directed by comedy stalwart Michael Ritchie.

Irwin ‘Fletch’ Fletcher, an LA journalist, is investigating a drugs ring on a local beach when he is recruited by a rich industrialist for a murderous plot. Fletch, using his alter-egos Mr Babar, John Cocktoasten and Ted Nugent, gets to the bottom of the noir-ish mystery in fine form.

Part comedy, part film noir, Chevy Chase navigates his way through an intelligent plot adding his own improvised twist to the proceedings.
