Movie Trivia/Goofs

The 1970s were an era for a number of Sherlock Holmes comedies. This movie was made and released about five years after Billy Wilder's comedy The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, just under a year before The Seven-Per-Cent Solution and three years before The Hound of the Baskervilles (1978). It was made thirteen years before Without a Clue.
Gene Wilder performed a number of duties on this movie. Wilder was the lead actor in the central role, co-writer of the script, performer of songs and the film's director.
Movie Goof (continuity error): In the scene where Sigerson Holmes is eating the chocolates from the floor, he gets chocolate all over his face. Through the scene, the chocolate smudges on his face change. First it's very heavy, then its nearly gone and very light, and then when the camera angle is panned out the smudges are heavier.
Gene Wilder once said that this film was "a terrifying commitment".
