I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world?

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations
I´ve read about this movie, that it could be an inspiration for the modern (BBC) version of Sherlock. I checked it out and the similarities are really striking:

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations
Nice banter. Holmes is pulling Watson´s leg and Mrs. Hudson is deadpan, as always.

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations
And look at this - not sure if this is the right place but Moftiss like to borrow from other adaptations. It is from "Sherlock Holmes in New York" (1976), probably not a masterpiece of the genre, but look what someone discovered ("Did you know that my full name is William Sherlock Scott Holmes?")

Re: Holmes/Watson from Other Adaptations
WOW! Fantastic find!
So this "Sherlock´s full name" featured in popculture for a while. Amazing.
