Movies - 11 September 2006

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?

Hi everyone.
I think this film was made in the late 70s or in the 80s. Its set in some mythical time long long age.
Its about a boy who can attract gold to himself and his older sister. When they are little the boy gets abducted by robbers. Then the girl wanders around the countryside for a few years and meets a man who is obsessed with building a flying machine.
Eventually the man dies (possibly of the plague)
At the end of the movie she eventually is reunited with her brother and they fly off on the flying maching.
I really want to know what its called.
Please don't post any silly answers unless they are original!

currently for me it's Lost Boys, Jaws (the first one), Matrix, Star Wars, Platoon, but me and the lads down the pub can only ever seem to agree on Lost Boys.
