Could be renamed "The Case of the Ten Gallon Puppies", with foul liquids much in evidence. While loosely following the story, many odd viginettes are added; some very funny, many quite strange, and some just plain dumb. Terrible puns, bad camera work, and sloppy editing are prominent, but an occasional bit of Pythonesque humor slips through, such as Peter Cooke as Holmes explaining to a one-legged man why he can't be a message runner. This is marginally worth seeing if you are patient and can separate the laughs from the garbage. It might be wise to wait until it's a second feature, if it survives that long.
