They Might Be Giants (1971)
The first fifteen minutes of They Might Be Giants is funny, in a quirky way, but you’d better be sure you know what you’re getting into if you decide to watch the rest of it. It’s strange, disjointed, unexplained, and totally out of 1971. Had I known it would have stopped being glib after the opening sequence, I wouldn’t have subjected myself to the remaining ninety minutes. I’m neither a Joanne Woodward nor George C. Scott fan, so by the time the ridiculously silly grocery store scene played out near the end, I was ready to tear my hair out.
George plays a man who has turned against his natural identity and escaped into the persona of Sherlock Holmes. His brother wants him to be committed, but Dr. Watson (Joanne) isn’t so quick to sign the commitment papers. George is observant, although clearly insane, and she quickly becomes entangled in his strange quest to find and defeat Moriarty. She follows him all over the city, picks up on weird, ridiculous clues, and meets characters so peculiar, it’s a wonder anyone thought to write them into the screenplay. I really wouldn’t recommend this movie unless you’re George C. Scott’s biggest fan and think Joanne’s awkward mannerisms are endearing.
