	Movies - The Singing Detective

The Singing Detective was a 2003 film based on the BBC mini-series of the same name, a work by Dennis Potter. It starred Robert Downey Jr. and Mel Gibson.

The film is mostly faithful to the series, with exceptions such as the setting (the United States instead of England), the musical numbers (1950s pop songs instead of 1940s jazz standards), the protagonist's name (changed from "Philip Marlow" to "Dan Dark"), the omission of some of the more detailed events of his childhood, and a more upbeat ending.
