There is a market for this movie!
Added 9/21/2009
I would love to purchase this movie as a gift, but it is definitely overpriced. Is there anyone in marketing that has figured out that you can sell several thousand copies of this film at a lower price and still make money! Will someone please step up to the plate!!

Divine madness!
Added 4/22/2009
From the days of "King of hearts" and "even dwarfs started small" we had not had the chance to enjoy an insanity poetic like this jewel of cinema. Funny, funny yarn about a slightly daffy gentleman who truly believes himself to be Sherlock Holmes. And all along this mad journey he will find clever clues counting with his psychiatrist, a lovely and fabulous Watson embodied by Joanne Woodward.
As a matter of fact, Anthony Harvey could not have made a best choice with two outstanding actors. George Scott whose lunatic gaze and distorted mind as military advisor in "Dr. Strangelove" and Joanne Woodward who had accompanied to Sean Connery "A fine madness" guaranteed by far as it was the best results you and me would imagined ourselves.
An amusing and surprisingly movie that will delight you due its imaginative plot and unexpected situations.

Stupid plot, so-so film
Added 12/26/2008
Yes, the band got the name from this 1971 movie starring George C. Scott and Joanne Woodward, so watching "They Might Be Giants" would be mainly of interest to anyone who wants to understand why the band chose that as a name (there are probably more bands named after movies than anything else - The Misfits, Faster Pussycat, Mudhoney, Brighton Rock, etc.). It's also of interest for anyone seeking more lunacy from George C. Scott, the man who made famous the line/promise in Dr. Strangelove "no more than 20 to 30 million killed - tops!"
The main critical blurb on the cover is Leonard Maltin's not-so-promising three star rating. The premise is that George C. Scott's character is a brilliant former judge who now thinks he's Sherlock Holmes, Joanne Woodward is his shrink. Together they set out to find Moriarty. Not much to keep your interest after the first 30 minutes or so, although the scene where "Holmes" treats a man who has stopped talking by figuring out that he thinks he's Rudolph Valentino (i.e. a silent film star).
