At least the ninth screen version of the Sherlock Holmes story, this can be seen as a continuation of the road Paul Morrissey travelled in Andy Warhol's Dracula and Andy Warhol's Frankenstein, a road that has taken him further and further from his mentor, Warhol, despite the latter's figurehead position in the titles of the two previous films. It is not always easy, though, to determine how and where Morrissey himself fits into the present film, intended as a tribute to British humor of the "Carry On" kind, and put into the hands of a highly qualified group of British comedians and character actors. This blithely tasteless burlesque includes rehashes of some perfected Peter Cook-Dudley Moore comedy routines, a number of painful puns, a spirited parody of The Exorcist (with flashing red and green traffic-light eyes and a party-favor paper blowout in place of Linda Blair's obscene tongue), and, for especially indulgent animal lovers, a very small dog with an evidently very large and highly pressurized bladder. With Terry-Thomas, Denholm Elliott, Hugh Griffith, Joan Greenwood. (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
