Wissenswertes

Gumshoe is a 1971 British black comedy film directed by Stephen Frears and starring Albert Finney, Billie Whitelaw and Frank Finlay. It was written by Neville Smith. The film follows a bingo-caller who dreams of being a private eye.

Production

The film contains shots of Liverpool buildings that have long since been demolished, including the employment exchange on Leece Street. Several scenes in the London part of the narrative take place in and around the occult Atlantis Bookshop.

Gumshoe was the first of two films with original music scores by Andrew Lloyd Webber (the other was The Odessa File, in 1974). Some of the music used was originally written for Lloyd Webber's then-abandoned musical version of Sunset Boulevard; the music was restored to its original place when work on the musical was resumed years later. Roy Young recorded the song "Baby, You're Good For Me", written by Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.
