Review of Without a Clue (1988) by Neil O — 09 Jul 2008
A minor gem of a movie, Caine romps through this, chewing scenery as he goes and stealing the movie. The writers aren't afraid to poke gentle fun at the established Homes conventions yet the script is entirely faithful to the spirit of Conan Doyle's most famous creation.
"Holmes: How can I be expected to maintain the character when you belittle me in front of those hooligans?
Watson: Character? Are we talking about the same man who once declared with total conviction that the late Colonel Howard had been bludgeoned to death with a blunt excrement?".
A joy.
