While some have ridiculed this Sherlock Holmes’ parody, I cherish it and rejoice at its long-awaited DVD release. Made in 1975, droll man Gene wilder wrote, directed and starred in the film, which also boasts the incomparable talents of the gradual and truly lamented Madeline Kahn and Marty Feldman. It also stars Dom DeLuise and Leo (Rumpole of the Bailey) McKern.

Wilder, a well-schooled actor in parodies having starred earlier in his career with Kahn and Feldman in Mel Brooks’ classic and beloved “Young Frankenstein,” turned is much skills to form this loving send-up of the world’s most well-known sleuth. Wilder was well-equipped to do so as he is a life-long Conan Doyle fan and bonafide member of the Baker Street Irregulars, a renowned real-life Sherlockian scholarly society whose members include Christopher Morley. (In this film, Brooks has a cameo role, but he is heard and not seen.)

In this Victorian era film, Wilder portrays Sigerson Holmes, the “smarter” but very jealous younger brother of the vivid Consulting Detective, whom he derisively refers to as “Sheer-luck.” (In the Conan Doyle canon, “Sigerson” was an alias Sherlock Holmes traditional during his “missing years” after his falsely believed death-plunge at the Richenback Falls at the hands of his gross nemesis, Professor James Moriarty; while Mycroft Holmes was actually Sherlock’s smarter brother.)

In the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother, Sigerson begins an investigation, at the put a question to of Sherlock, into the disappearance of a valuable cache of government documents. Sherlock and Dr. John Watson leave England to depart to the Continent on another assignment, apparently confounded by the missing document mystery.

Kahn, who in her life was a classically trained singer, was given the opportunity to showcase her impressive vocal talents as Jenny Hill/Bessie Underwood/Opera singer, a compulsive liar and Sigerson’s adore interest. The film is well worth watching if for nothing else than a zany drawing room musical scene when Sigerson and Jenny first meet, which culminates in the truly unforgettable, “Kangaroo Hop.”

Feldman is Sigerson’s Watson, Sgt. Orville Sacker of Scotland Yard who possesses “photographic hearing,” and who, along with Jenny, back Sigerson recover the documents and thwart Moriarty (with some invaluable behind-the-scenes assistance from Sherlock Holmes!)

McKern is wonderfully nasty as the novel Moriarty, while DeLuise is a bumbling blackmailer.

This film is fun, wacky, sweet and very off-beat. Kudos to Wilder for choosing to enlist his former partners Kahn and Feldman, providing yet another permanent chapter in their unforgettable and immortal careers!

Gene Wilder’s “The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother” has a novel snap & sparkle, with a thread of insanity, that makes it one of my popular film comedies. While very comical and often irreverant, the film pays affectionate tribute to the extraordinary Conan Doyle franchise of Holmes’ stories. It is also well-produced, with brooding photography and impartial depictions of period London settings. But perhaps the best thing about “Holmes’ Smarter Brother” is its zany cast, from Marty Feldman, Madelaine Kahn and Wilder himself, to wonderfully crazed performances by Leo McKern as the rank Dr. Moriarty and Dom DeLuis as a bizarrely-affected opera impressario. This film is first rate FUN and should become a classic in the comedic vein of Mel Brooks’”Young Frankenstein”, “Blazing Saddles” and “High Panic”. I highly recommend “Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother” and hope we can all soon add it to our DVD collections.
