It's Still Funny After All These Years...
The humor and the movie have both held up very well given its age, and Thank God they finally released it on DVD. It's a classic sendup to all of the early detectives from both Books and Movies. To those familiar with all of the characters, it will provide hoots of laughter. To those who simply don't know who Charlie Chan or Truman Capote are (or the other characters), well, it may seem over the top.My one main complaint is WHY did the DVD (and the VHS) cut one of the funniest scenes at the end of the movie when Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson show up late for the party/murder??? It would be interesting to know the reason for the deletion as the scene was certainly worth keeping intact within the ending of the movie.
