   Is the Singing Detective a good movie?

   • "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.

   The Singing Detective is a film that tried to take a gritty detective story filled with dark comedy and blend it with a jukebox musical full of songs from the 1950s. I found the end result to be pretty underwhelming. The most notable problem with this movie is its lack of direction.
