RiffTrax Presents: Sherlock Holmes: Dressed to Kill

RiffTrax Presents: Sherlock Holmes: Dressed to Kill is a humorous take on the classic detective film featuring Bridget Nelson and Mary Jo Pehl. This unique production by comedy geniuses Nelson and Pehl add a touch of humor and comical mystery that highlight their unmatched prowess in delivering wit-infused commentaries to legendary films.

The movie revolves around the iconic British sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, brilliantly portrayed here in a 1946 crime-drama film in which he is tasked to solve a puzzling case that involves an enigmatic code, music boxes, murders, and a posh woman who seems to be at the heart of it all. Known for his uncanny intelligence and swift reasoning skills, Sherlock Holmes gets embroiled in an intense chase that gets increasingly complicated with the involvement of multiple characters and subplots.

The spotlight shines on Bridget Nelson and Mary Jo Pehl, the seasoned RiffTrax veterans, who provides the comedic commentary track that accompanies the film. Their sarcastic, hilarious, and fast-paced riffing make the viewers see the old Sherlock Holmes film in an entirely new and uproarious perspective. Fans of the RiffTrax series will instantly recognize Nelson and Pehl's trademark humor that they previously brought to notable films like "Anaconda" and "Guy From Harlem."

The beauty of RiffTrax Presents: Sherlock Holmes: Dressed to Kill is how seamlessly it blends the seriousness of the classic mystery movie with modern humor. Nelson and Pehl lampoon each scene without robbing them of their essential charm, adding layers of fun and laughter that break the traditional movie-goer experience. The pair's ability to make light of moments from the film, turning them into opportunities for laughter, have become staples throughout the RiffTrax series.

The plot itself is a marvelous blend of suspense, thrill, and mystery, wonderfully enriched by the numerous laughs provided by Nelson and Pehl. Their commentary accompanies Holmes’s swift deductions, unraveling mysteries, and the unique characters he encounters along the way, making the movie a perfect balance of serious whodunit and light comedy.

The Sherlock Holmes storyline predicates its relevance on deriving humor from even the most serious and grave situations. Everyone's favorite detective, Holmes, played in the original film by Basil Rathbone, investigates a string of puzzling murders apparently connected to three music boxes, creating a sense of impending and growing mystery. Nigel Bruce's Dr. Watson, always a step or two behind, adds to the comedy with his well-meaning but often bumbling attempts to assist with the investigation.

This is where the genius of Nelson and Pehl truly shines, adding witty commentary to Basil Rathbone's intense portrayal of Holmes and the confused Dr. Watson's humorous mishaps. They also spare no character from their witty jabs, including the attention-seeking woman behind the music boxes' mystery.

RiffTrax Presents: Sherlock Holmes: Dressed to Kill further amplifies the fun factor with the clever use of contemporary pop-cultural references mixed amusingly with Sherlock's Victorian era quirkiness. The movie is not just watched but experienced, as the audience becomes an unwitting participant into this humorously recrafted narrative added to the originally serious film, adding more depth and entertainment to it.

You don't need to be a vintage film expert or a serious follower of Sherlock Holmes to enjoy RiffTrax Presents: Sherlock Holmes: Dressed to Kill. It caters to all audiences – those looking for a good laugh, fans getting a taste of the old classics in a new light, or even those simply in for a joyous and hilarious ride.
