PUNQ

Rated 24 Dec 2013

German crooks pretend to be Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson! And everybody believes them! And with that confidence they more or less change sides and try to solve crimes instead of doing them. Two of Germany's leading actors in Hans Albers & Heinz Rühmann have the honors of being Arthur Conan Doyle's creations in this joyous Karl Hartl directed comedy. Elegant stupidity might describe this best. It's definitely a enjoyable variation of Sherlock Holmes.
