Sherlock Holmes remodelled, but not improved. Dr. Watson is now an actual man, and an author and deductive genius to boot. Holmes is his invention, impersonated in real life by a ham actor, and "a gambler, a womanizer, and a drunkard." (This pretty well cuts Conan Doyle out of the deal.) Ben Kingsley and Michael Caine, respectively, do everything that's humanly possible with these transmutations, but it was hardly worth the doing. With Jeffrey Jones and Nigel Davenport; directed by Thom Eberhardt. (1988) — Duncan Shepherd
