| | Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking (2004) - Starring Rupert Everett and Ian Hart |
 | | The illustrious detective Sherlock Holmes, played by Rupert Everett, is drawn out of retirement by his estranged partner in crime, Dr John Watson (Ian Hart), when a case that threatens to overwhelm the privilege and tranquillity of aristocratic society comes to their attention. |
 | | Tall, slender, dark-haired and with a strong nose, Everett is a fairly good choice for the part from a purely physical perspective. |
 | | Although Everett seemed to awaken somewhat to the part as the film progressed, a bit of nervous energy, or any energy for that matter, and he might have given us the most compelling Holmes to come along since Jeremy Brett. |
