Trivia
Gene Wilder's character's first name, Sigerson, was an alias used by Sherlock Holmes during the period in which he was believed to have been killed by Prof. Moriarty, in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's short story "The Adventure of the Empty House".

Goofs
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.

Quotes
Dr. Watson: Holmes, how will you ever repay him?
Sherlock Holmes: By playing the violin, Watson. By playing the violin.

I love this movie!

Gene Wilder has done a wonderful job of directing, writing, and acting in this terrific parody comedy. I taped it off tv last fall, and have watched it at least 20 times since, pratically having memorized it all. I also enjoyed the great performances by Madeline Kahn, Dom Deluise, and Marty Feldman. I can't wait till I see Wilder and Kahn on the big screen again.
