I came across this very amusing parody of LotR in the style of a number of 1940s films, including in particular
The Maltese Falcon,
Casablanca, and
The Big Sleep:

The cast includes:
Humphrey Bogart as Frodo Baggins,
Sydney Greenstreet as Gandalf,
Marlene Dietrich as Galadriel,
and Peter Lorre as Gollum.
