Excellent Movie!

I didn't know what to expect when I rented this DVD. It was fascinating! We are watching how the famous Sherlock Holmes came to be written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from the beginning. It is not as you imagined.....at least not in this movie! In the story you will meet the real Mr. Holmes, who was in turn, Dr. Joseph Bell, a surgical professor at the University of Edinburgh Medical School and Doyle, a medical student and the real life model for Dr. Watson. Ian Richardson is just perfect in the role of "Holmes" and Doyle(Charles Edwards) is of course superb as the real Dr. Watson. Doyle was a clerk for Dr. Bell who was considered very eccentric, and a "wizard" at detecting. It kept me guessing who the murderer was all along and I was very much surprised at the end! Excellent twist.....top notch story.
