she s a rootless low life a pot smoking heavydrinking waitress who lives in a trailer with her lay about musician boyfriend She favors tight blouses skimpy miniskirts and a surly teasing attitude Led by Fos ters fierce and brazen performance the movie makes the point that no one could ever deserve to be raped that there is all the dllfcrencc in the world between being sexually flirtatious even

mirthless dud The gimmick of Gary Murphy and Larry Strawiher is that Wat son is the real sleuth mas termlnd of the duo To guard his repu tat ion as a doctor he has hired a lowly actor to enact the character of Holmes and thus take credit for solv the caws Once the movie sets up this invert relationship settles for being no more than a slightly comic version of typical Sherlock Holmes mysterj I
