   Nov 7, 2003 · "The Singing Detective" is a movie about a man who has been failed by science and drugs and turns in desperation to his mind, seeking temporary insanity as a release. His sharp intelligence is an asset. He knows the 1950s songs are trash, and that's the point; you don't throw songs you love onto the bonfire.

   Is 'the Singing Detective' based on a true story?

   • Keith Gordon's "The Singing Detective" involves the world of Dan Dark ( Robert Downey Jr.), once a writer, now living in a world so encompassed by pain that it has become the single fact of his life.
