Meet The World's Greatest Detective And His Bumbling Partner..Sherlock Holmes.

Suppose for a moment that Dr. Watson was the real brains behind Sherlock Holmes? The result is anything but elementary! Academy Award winners Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley deliver stellar performances as "a delightful duo, an 1890's Odd Couple" (Los Angeles Times) in this madcap mystery that's "the most hilarious Sherlock Holmes adventure of them all" ("Sneak Previews")!

Dr. John Watson (Kingsley) is secretly a crime-solving genius. But to protect his reputation as a physician, he hires bumbling, boozy, out-of-work actor Reginald Kincaid (Caine) to play the part of his fictional creation, Sherlock Holmes. The charade works until Watson mysteriously disappears, forced the baffled, seriously inept "Holmes" to crack the biggest case of Watson's career on his own!

Was just thinking of this one. Been buying lots of Sherlock Holmes on BD lately. Will add this to the collection.

Great, no English subs. But since they exist and Olive is too cheap to include them, I guess I'll have to burn my own copy.

Love this film, hope the disc looks good

Yep, it's been a good year for Holmes fans. Hopefully, Young Sherlock Holmes is on the way soon.

I watched this once, long time ago, and it's a good comedy. It helps that I'm a huge of Sir Michael Caine.

And I also dig the Sherlock Holmes stories,so...

Awesome, fantastic film! The MGM back catalogue release announcements are coming thick and fast from Olive and Kino. Kingsley and Caine are wonderful.

My fave line: "His real name is Arty Morty!"

jaredofmo · 01-08-2015, 09:08 PM

I could conceivably buy two copies, one for my dad, one for me!

Blu MacReady · 01-08-2015, 09:27 PM

Day one. Almost watched the dvd this afternoon, will now have to force myself to not watch it and wait for this blu.

dvdmike · 01-08-2015, 09:27 PM

Do they region lock? Would be nice to delete this off my pvr

Spearmint701 · 01-08-2015, 10:32 PM

Great to find others love this movie too, thought my dad and i were the only ones!!

A truly underrated flick IMHO, Caine and Kingsley are great in it.

Hope it's a good transfer!

My favourite line as well!!

I'll definitely pick this up if the transfer is decent. Haven't seen before but that casting combination sounds irresistible.

SirEvolution · 01-09-2015, 02:56 AM

Whaaaaa, was secretly hoping this would happen some day.
Awesome news, day one, regardless of pq.

movieben1138 · 01-09-2015, 03:31 AM

I am beyond excited about this announcement! One of my favorite, nearly-forgotten comedies. Very glad to upgrade the old pan&scan DVD. Thank you, Olive!

Me too, I used to have this on VHS back in the day (copied off of HBO), and nearly wore that tape out. The US DVD was only pan and scan, and I don't think a proper widescreen presentation has ever been released.

This will be a day 1 purchase for me, Olive Films have aside from one film (Moontrap) have been great picture quality wise.

I've been considering buying this title on DVD recently, assuming it would be years before this would see the light of day on this format.... glad I was wrong.

Imrahil2001 · 01-09-2015, 07:08 AM

Nice. As someone else said, I hope this means we get Young Sherlock in time for next Christmas.

Atrius · 01-09-2015, 01:21 PM

I have waited YEARS for this. It's jam packed with great lines!
