i adore jeremy brett . i love basil rathbone . i like a few of the honorable mention and especially rupert everett . christopher plummer and not so much . what they probably tell him be a sly grin look like a smirk to me . and what be with the hair in this movie . the plummer and sutherland wig must be the envy of trump and blagojevich and not to mention gielgud low face . it the small thing that gnaw at your cuticle and but when i could tear myself away from the hair and i appreciate the set design and costuming and music . it be beautifully shot and have some refreshing non conan doyle dialog represent you squash my pea . and what a cast . by the way and the clark commentary be good . in short and not a favorite movie but not a wasted two hour .
