- Synopsis:
Sherlock Holmes is the greatest of all fictional detectives, as famous for his deerstalker and pipe, as his legendary powers of observation and deduction. He is an aloof and private man driven by a fierce intellect that gives him astounding brilliance and unfathomable eccentricity in equal measure. Jeremy Brett, the definitive Holmes, stars in two beautiful adaptations taken from the classic ITV series.
The Final Problem (1985)Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) has been in Paris to investigate the theft of the Mona Lisa by a master criminal. Holmes has successfully overseen the arrest of the criminal's henchmen, but on his return to London receives a warning from the "Napoleon of Crime" Professor Moriarty (Eric Porter). Holmes proposes to Watson (David Burke) that they leave on a timely trip to the continent. Using subterfuge and disguise they make their way to the Reichenbach falls where Watson is called away to attend to a sick English woman leaving Holmes alone by the thundering water...
