Comment
This is an entertaing spoof on the Sherlock Holmes story. In this case Dr Watson (Ben Kingsley) is the real detective who hires an out of work drunken actor (Michael Caine) to play the part of Sherlock Holmes. Ben Kingsley is good as the frustrated Watson who is overshadowed by his creation and Michael Caine plays the ham actor playing up to his new fame well. Lysette Anthony is the double crossing femme fatal. Not one for the Holmes purists, but fun for what it is.
