7/10
Very funny comedy spoof.
21 June 2005
It may be no Young Frankenstein, but it has 3 of the films stars. Gene Wilder wrote, directed and stars as Sigerson Holmes. The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother is not a classic but it has its fair share of laughs. Madeline Kahn plays the damsel in distress Jenny Hill and she as always is a pleasure to watch and hear her sing. Marty Feldman is great as Orvile Scaker the detectives partner. Dom DeLuise also has a small role as an opera singer. Britsh actor Leo McKern is wonderful as Professor Moriarty. I wish these actors would have done more movies together. The 1970's did make its share of great comedies and a lot of them starred either Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn. They could have been a great love team if they had only done more films with one another. They were so well matched. Why this is not on DVD is a mystery in itself.
