The scene is of a rumpled detective sitting in a cluttered office. He is usually drinking and/or smoking. Some kind of jazz plays in the background as he narrates the stories in 1940's slang. He usually tells how the trouble started when a "dame" or a "skirt" walked. She is usually a "looker" with "gams that won't quit" or some such thing. She usually sobs as she tells her story and then pleasds for the private eye's help. I have seen this scene in several movies, tv shows and even commercials but I can't figure out where it first appeared. Does anyone know the name of the movie, tv show or possibly even radio show where this scene originated?
