Here is another fine pairing of actors to play Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
That is one of the better things about some Sherlock Holmes films - the combination
of two good actors playing against and with one another. The first great
pairing I would say was Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Since then we have
had Nicol Williamson and Robert Duval, Christopher Plummer and James Mason,
Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, Peter
Cushing and Andre Morell. Peter Cushing and John Mills and now in this film
the duo of Ben Kingsley and Michael Caine. Their fun interplay is the best
thing about the movie.
