One-joke "high concept" comedy wears thin after a while, but remains mildly engaging throughout thanks to George C. Scott's multilayered (both lucid and delusional) performance and Joanne Woodward's appealing turn. Despite all the name-dropping, it is not so much a Sherlock Holmes parody or homage (there is hardly any deduction) as it is a romantic comedy and a celebration of the liberating potential of fantasy. **1/2 out of 4.
