Dr. Scholl’s “Murder, My Feet” Ad (Proposed)

In this joke on the classic film noir detective movie Murder, My Sweet, based upon Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe novel Farewell, My Lovely, a detective in a black & white noir TV spot sits in his office and tells us of his latest case: “I was hired to track a killer. I walked all over town looking for clues, but the only killer I found was the one killing my feet. I got a hot tip to look up a Dr. Scholl, and he set me straight. Now I use his inserts and I stopped the killer; the one that was killing my feet, anyway.”
