Time After Time with Malcolm Mcdowell

Oh, excellent choice!

You might also check out "Gumshoe," with Albert Finney. While not actually believing he's a 1940s hardboiled private eye, Finney's character desperately wants to be one, evne though he's in early 1970s Liverpool. A great little film about holding onto childhood dreams, and the point at which those dreams begin holding onto you ... perhaps more than is good for you.

Gumshoe is a good shout.

King of Hearts
