Sigerson Holmes vit dans l'ombre de son grand frère, l'illustre detective Sherlock Holmes. Un jour où ce dernier doit s'absenter à l'étranger, il confie une affaire à son cadet. Sigerson va enfin avoir les moyens de prouver qu'il peut faire aussi bien que son aîné. (texte officiel du distributeur)
Critiques (1)
Beautiful nonsense, from which Marty Feldman's wide-angle gaze emerges as a phantom, the sleek comic charm of Gene Wilder (whose seriousness in fact evokes Leslie Nielsen), several really beautiful sketches and situations... well, perhaps also the cruel musical-opera music that accompanies us throughout the film. I'm reluctant to call this a parody because, taken as a result, the film parodies itself... It is a great pity that the level fluctuates considerably from the dead spots from which the perspective disappears, to the really excellent passages in which all the nonsense is sold with British seriousness and moderation. The influence of the British humorist school simply cannot be denied, and that is very, very good.
