Private detective movie from late 80’s or early 90’s

Hi, I’m desperately looking for a movie from my childhood. There was this funny detective. He was wearing a trench coat, a felt hat and he had a beard. Whole the movie he was after a criminal. In the end of the movie he was coming to a party. Met with the wife of the criminal and they started fighting. She had short black hair. If I’m not wrong that wife was the criminal himself, he had a gender change operation to hide. If I remember the details correct it was a super unique subject, but couldn’t find the movie all these times. Any help will be appreciated.

I strongly doubt this is the right movie, but parts of your description reminded me of a movie from1987 called Slam Dance. Specifically, it was the description of the ending taking place at a party and the fight with the woman with short hair. However, there is a lot arguing against this being the right film. The protagonist was a guy on the run, not a P.I. and I don't think he wore a trench coat. There was an unusual, for the late 80's, gender issue to the solution of the mystery, but it did not involve a sex change. The trailer is on Amazon just in case. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093986/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1 Good luck with your search.

@JRD I checked the trailer, some scenes, photos. It's not Slam Dance. But for a second I thought it might be this one. Because date fits, the movie has a very low rating so it's not easy to find a lot of people knowing it and a lot of details are blurred as I watched it only once when I was a small kid. So there maybe a lot of differences from the clues I gave. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
