No, unfortunately. This feature length production concocts a Holmes who is not at all himself. Holmes, the steady-nerved arch-rationalist has here become fey - his nights prey to nightmares, his days tortured by flashbacks and phantasms. Will he seek counselling we wonder?. Fortunately not - the writer stopped just short of this, the supreme aberration. Unfortunately the director apparently knew no bounds. Pointless over-elaboration - and a lack of point. If it's allusive, he'd use it. Such things often are the hallmark of a lesser talent given too many resources. Surprising to find this in the work of a writer and a director with long track records. But what a shame that this fine cast (inc guests Simon Williams and Anna Calder-Marshal), these sumptuous interiors and costumes,these atmospheric exteriors were not put to better effect.
Its always good to watch the Brett/Hardwicke combo in their struggles against criminality and injustice. Here though they battle both in the shape of writer and director.
A ray of hope. Re-editing might yet rescue it.
