Peeper (1975)

Curiosidades

Peeper is a 1975 American mystery comedy film directed by Peter Hyams, starring Michael Caine as Leslie C. Tucker, a bungling private investigator. A send-up of 1940s films noirs, Peeper was a box-office failure that jeopardized Hyams's career and almost prevented him from obtaining funding to produce Capricorn One.

Production

The film originally was titled Fat Chance and began filming in June 1974. The producers had worked with Peter Hyams on Busting and hired him to rewrite W.D. Richter's script and direct because they liked the comic elements of Busting. In 1975 Keith Laumer's 1971 novel Deadfall, on which the script was based, was republished under the title Fat Chance by Pocket Books in the US and New English Library in the UK with film tie-in covers.
