"The Man Who Was Sherlock Holmes" should get some kind of credit for pre-dating the revival of Holmes' popularity in the late 1930s thanks to the prolific Basil Rathbone - Nigel Bruce series. Other than that, there is neither much hilarity nor much detection in this talky spoof about a pair of Holmes & Watson impersonators who manage to get themselves involved in an actual case. And the case itself, involving fake stamps and a gang of counterfeiters, makes you yearn for some juicy murders. The funniest joke comes at the very end, with an unexpected cameo by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle! (not the real one, of course...). ** out of 4.
