Anthony Harvey's 1971, They Might Be Giants, is one of those delicious trifles, that's always a pleasure.
It's an unconventional rom-com, about a retired judge, who knows that he's actually Sherlock Holmes, and the psychiatrist assigned to his case.
For those who may never have been aware of the film, it's best viewed with no information up front. Main cast members are George C. Scott - going into TMBG directly after Patton, and Joanne Woodward, whose husband was a producer on the project.
Photographed on location, in Manhattan by Victor Kemper, and with a score by John Barry, it's one of those little films that I love.
Tony Harvey had previously directed The Lion in Winter, and here, was re-united with his author and screenwriter, James Goldman - adapted from his play.
The HD master supplied to Kino Lorber, for this long-awaited Blu-ray, appears to have a bit of bottle age, could be sharper, and more stable, but does the trick for government work.
Extras include a featurette, and a commentary of sorts.
