Fletch lived, briefly but with all the attention that Chevy Chase could muster in the two adaptions made for cinema when he was one of the undisputed kings of American film. Fletch lived, but cinema can be fickle, it can just as quickly destroy as it can create, and after 1989’s Fletch Lives became but a distant memory there was probably no hope that Gregory McDonald’s popular creation would project its neo-noir investigative detective would be back to confront the sins of those without a sense of humour again.
