Customer Reviews of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother
A silly little movie, and a bit more. On the surface this is a silly Sherlock Holmes parody, courtesy of Gene Wilder and Co. And as a parody it works OK, though at times (several times) it is almost too silly. <
>However, there are several bonuses here: <
>1) Wilder is wonderful. Playing a character (Sigerson) who is wildly intelligent and talented. His character would be an absolute standout in any field he might choose to pursue - except his chosen field - following in the footsteps of his brother - Mr. Sherlock Holmes. As such we see this intelligent, talented fellow as a miserable failure who is just smart enough to realize by the end of the show the genius, competence and love of his brother. <
>2) The Sherlock Holmes of this movie is superb. Here, Sherlock, has a small and mostly behind the scenes role. But the Holmes we see is THE BEST HOLMES ever brought to film. He is simply superb. <
>3) The ending scene where Sigerson approaches a costumed Holmes and through eye contact conveys his understanding and acceptance of their relationship and acknowledges their relative skills and talents - this is a well done scene. It is worth watching a whole movie for a scene like this. <
>4) Lots of nice hat tipping to Holmesian lore. <
>5) The zany Moriarty. Leo McKern does a nice performance here. <
>6) As do all the "friends" of Wilder (Feldman, Kahn, De Luis, etc). <
> <
>PS - I am not much of a Wilder fan - but his Sherlock Holmes alone - small as his role is - earns this movie 5 stars.
The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother
Always like Mel Brooks movies,, especially with Gene Wilder & Marty Feldman.

>If you liked Young Frankenstein type comedy then you will love this.
One of Wilder's best.
This movie was most likely Gene Wilder's best. The story and main characters were clever and enjoyable. At times Wilder makes his movie too silly to the point of nearly insulting the viewer. If you like any of his work, you need to watch this one. Check out his World's Greatest Lover.
