It's absolutely unknown for me until now, certainly an art-movie as New Hollywood that some imply, an increasing penchant on the seventies, in an psychiatric hospital in New York a weird man self-intitled as Sherlock Holmes (George C Scott) overpowers all crew with rare mastery, after meeting a local psychiatric Watson (Joanne Woodward) all things make sense at all, at last he gets his famous sidekick doctor, even against Watson will, Sherlock points out has been chased by his enemy Moriarty.
Thru this whimsical proposition the movie unfolds flirting with nonsense and surrealism, also a night journey into the night in New York track down Moriarty aiming for debunk his early target, destroy Sherlock Holmes status, funny happening comes along, several odd incidents as well, always appearing colorful characters on the way, the chemistry over the main leading roles is stunning and lift the offer into higher path, pure lunatic's poetry that allowed them a escaping of the awful and stifling reality.
Many supporting actors enhance the weirdo storyline, as the old Peabody (Jack Gilford) that wondering plays Scarlet Pimpernel at once, the awesome Al Lewis as messenger actually a wife's lapdog, Eugene Roche as Policeman, M. Emmet Walsh as sanitation man, also countless smallest roles come together to final redemption on supermarket sequence, forget the logic if you want be reward by an offbeat presentation.
