The stellar duo of George C. Scott and Joanne Woodward 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 and directed by Anthony Harvey, They Might Be Giants is an innovative reworking of Don Quixote. (Powerhouse Films)
