Great movie, one of my faves, too. Another favorite...I must admit that this is one of my favorite Holmes portrayal. Holmes and Watson as schoolboys.
Sorry, all, but Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke are the one, the only, the epitome of perfection. All others are pale imitators, even Benedict Whatshisbatch.

I loved every episode of the Brett series largely because they were the most faithful renditions of the original stories. Brett seemed just a bit too effeminate to me compared to how I read Holmes to be, but he was more charming as Holmes than in the books which was nice. He's probably my overall favorite onscreen Holmes. That TV show's original Watson, David Burke, was replaced or he quit. If he was replaced I assumed it was due to the fear of him and Holmes appearing as more than just a detective team, especially considering he was replaced by an older Watson (though in the books Holmes and Watson are approximately the same age). That show's production was really superb.
