Great discussion from Tipping My Fedora about big screen Sherlock Holmes adaptations. Tough to decide on a single movie Sherlock but I do have a favorite take on Watson - James Mason.
Not sure when I will get to write them but my next few posts on the blog will be about The Perfectionist by Lane Kauffman, Captain Cut-throat by JDC, and something by Graham Greene...
