The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother

The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975) is the comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Sigerson Holmes has spent his whole life fuming that his celebrated sibling soaks up every bit of glory while he scrapes by in the great detective's shadow.

Then his moment arrives. With Sherlock and Dr. Watson forced to leave England in a hurry, a delicate case lands on Sigerson instead: stolen government documents that need recovering fast. He picks up two unlikely allies — a hopeless amateur opera singer and a charming schemer with a murky past — and the investigation spirals into a romp of disguises, secret codes and thoroughly silly chases.

This was Gene Wilder's debut behind the camera, and he stars in it too. He surrounds himself with Madeleine Kahn and Marty Feldman, his Young Frankenstein co-stars, plus Leo McKern as Professor Moriarty. It's a goofy send-up of the Holmes mythos for anyone who enjoys British absurdity and seventies comedy that refuses to take itself seriously.
