The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes - 1/5

This is one of the worst representations of Sherlock Holmes I’ve seen. The core duo’s characterizations are all over the place, more caricature than character. The idea behind the mystery is halfway decent, but the execution and resolution are pitiful. It’s also overly long; you could legitimately start this film at 33:20 and not miss anything.

Closest comparison: It’s like Scooby Doo under the guise of Sherlock Holmes.

Plot: Detective
