The stellar duo of George C Scott (
The Day of the Dolphin) and Joanne Woodward (
The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds) headline
They Might Be Giants, an eccentric and touching comedy.
Grief-stricken widower Justin Playfair begins to believe he is Sherlock Holmes. Briefly institutionalised, he teams up with his doctor – coincidentally named Watson – and, together, they follow a string of clues across New York City as they search for their elusive arch-enemy, Moriarty...
Based on a play by award-winning writer James Goldman (
The Lion in Winter,
Robin and Marion) and directed by Anthony Harvey (
Dutchman),
They Might Be Giants is an innovative reworking of
Don Quixote, and is presented here in three variant cuts.
