Leave it to legendary funnyman Gene Wilder (Blazing Saddles) to
write, direct, and star in an uproarious Sherlock Holmes mystery film
spoof that goes far beyond the scope of elementary comedies. After
spending decades living in the shadow of his more famous and successful
sibling, Consulting Detective Sigerson Holmes (Wilder) is called upon to
help solve a crucial case that leads him on a hilarious trail of false
identities, stolen documents, secret codes and exposed backsides.
Featuring an outrageous ensemble cast that includes Madeline Kahn (High
Anxiety) as the seductive singer, Marty Feldman (Young Frankenstein) as
Holmes’ bug-eyed assistant, and Dom DeLuise (History of the World: Part
I) as an eccentric opera star turned blackmailer, this fun-filled caper
packs a slew of clues and loads of laughs which The New York Times
called “A Charming Slapstick Comedy”. Co-starring Leo McKern (Rumpole of
the Bailey), Roy Kinnear (The Bed Sitting Room) and John Le Mesurier
(The Italian Job).
