A Study in Scarlet

I must echo what others have said and say that this is A Study in Scarlet in name only, it bears no relation to the original story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, which was the first time the character Sherlock Holmes was introduced and had met Watson. Here though, Holmes and Watson are established as older and have had many years of partnership. Even so, the film A Study in Scarlet follows common tropes in Sherlock Holmes stories and has its charm, its only real drawback is that it was made nearly a century ago and sound and image quality are not up to the level most are familiar with these days so the suspense is rather dry in most places. A lot of people have mixed feelings towards Reginald Owen's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, personally I rather like it, it feels like a more older and experienced Sherlock than what you're normally used to. Certainly worth watching if you're a fan of the character.
