In a last-ditch-effort to help Holmes rid himself of his highly-dangerous 'remedy' to his ennui, Watson, having heard of an up-an-coming colleague of his, one Doctor Sigmund Freud, who was enjoying considerable success in dealing with patients who were suffering from various psychological disorders. Watson, knowing that Holmes would be too proud to admit his addiction problem, tricks his friend into going to Vienna, by convincing him that 'a client' needed his help, very badly in that city. Holmes agrees, and soon the game is, once again, 'afoot'.
I will leave it there. There is no Basil Rathbone in this movie. There is no Jeremy Brett in this movie. No Christopher Plummer, Roger Moore, or anyone else who ever played Holmes. Nicol Williamson and Robert Duvall are just wonderful as Holmes and Watson, respectively. Alan Arkin plays Sigmund Freud, and the greatest actor of his generation, Sir Laurence Olivier, takes on the role of Holmes' greatest, life-long enemy, the Napoleon of Crime, Professor James Moriarty. The very beautiful Samantha Eggar, in an almost-cameo role, still manages to capture the viewer's attention and respect.
If you are a movie fan, to any degree, you owe it to yourself to get this movie, and watch it from start to finish, without interruption. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be very proud of the way this cast, and crew, have breathed new life into his most-beloved characters. You won't regret the time nor the money spent on this film. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have and do.
Mr. Z.
In it, Holmes battles with his drug addiction, meets, resists, and ultimately teams up with one of the other great minds of his time. And, yes, he solves the crime and rescues the woman in distress.
All of this could have been handled very cutely, with lots of heavy handed punch-lines and winking at the audience. It is not. All of the in-jokes will be obvious to devoted fans of the Sherlock Holmes books and movies. But you needn't be concerned that it might be played as broad humor or slapstick.
The source material that is the inspiration for this story is handled with all due respect. That material IS stretched to accommodate the plot-line presented on this movie - But what would have been the use of NOT exploring any new areas outside the original books?
It took me a few minutes to adjust to the familiar faces of Robert Duvall (as Dr. Watson) speaking with an English accent and Alan Arkin (as Sigmund Freud) speaking with a Viennese accent. But the effort needed was not too much of a strain.
Nicol Williamson was a pure delight as Holmes - a lovely performance in all respects. He threw himself into the drug-induced Holmes the way that Alistair Sims inhabited the haunted Ebenezer Scrooge of "A Christmas Carol".
This DVD will be a welcome addition to any enthusiast's collection of Sherlock Holmes books and movies. Too bad this made-on-demand edition has NO extras.
Worth the money.
