Howdy, I say, howdy, y’all! What’s all this here nonsense with all y’all goin’ gaga for this chicken-come-lately Benoit Blanc? Why, he’s, I say, he’s just poachin’ my act! Everyone knows that Foghorn Leghorn is the original Southern-Friend flat-claw. Blanc? Why, that boy’s about as sharp as a bowling ball! He’s so dumb, he thinks a pigpen is somethin’ to write with! Why, I say, why are these here fellas, Max and Mike, goin’ on about this fella in their “Cuz I Wanna (and You’re Gonna Like It”) series? I say, they’re as mixed up as a feather in a whirlwind! I ask you! These boys got more nerve than a bum tooth! Where, I say, where’s my movie?! I could solve anything that over-dressed, I say over-dressed hayseed could! So, you all give a listen, I say, give a listen and let these two dumb clucks know how you feel about this rampant injustice against my avian person. Nice boys but about as sharp as a sack full of wet mice.

Frances Mcdormit is one of my favourite movie detectives but Inspector Clouseau was for a long time. I haven’t seen any of those films in a while and wonder if they hold up or are just nostalgia pieces now. This poll question made me realize how many screen detectives have thier origins in books and how few were exclusively made for film!
