The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother
Directed by Gene Wilder
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A lighthearted spoof of Sherlock Holmes that prioritizes slapstick humor and absurdist comedy over mystery or tension.
After spending decades living in the shadow of his more famous and successful sibling, Consulting Detective Sigerson Holmes is called upon to help solve a crucial case that leads him on a hilarious trail of false identities, stolen documents, secret codes... and exposed backsides.
