In this neo-noir thriller, a private detective is determined to solve a difficult case after he becomes a suspect in the murder of his friend’s wife.

PUNCHLINE, the first major release to hit on this subculture of comedy clubs and struggling comedians, is both funny and sad. Sally Field, Tom Hanks and John Goodman star in this wonderful behind-the-scenes look at the world of stand-up comedy...where laughs are serious business.
