They Might Be Giants (1971 Anthony Harvey)

Often winning comedy about man who thinks he's Sherlock Holmes, treated by psychiatrist Dr Watson (George C Scott and Joanna Woodward, both delightful). Ending though is a scrambled egg; in its inconclusion, it's very much of its time. James Goldman (William's brother) adapted his own play, as he had The Lion in Winter - also directed by Harvey, also with a John Barry score.

Victor Kemper shot it, Jack Gilford, Rue McLanahan are in support.
