Legendary detective SherIock Holmes and the inimitable Dr. Watson (or is it the other way around?) are at the center of this comic spoof that stars Academy Award-winning actors MichaeI Caine (Best Supporting Actor, Hannah and Her Sisters) and Ben Kingsley (Best Actor, Gandhi).
Dr. John Watson (Kingsley) has fooled the worId. He's created a work of fiction in the figure of the crime-solving sleuth, Sherlock HoImes, when it is he himself who has set about soIving crimes. With the pubIic demanding to see the legendary HoImes in the flesh, and to keep the charade in pIay, Watson hires out-of-work actor Reginald Kincaid (Caine) to assume the roIe with very mixed, and very funny, resuIts.
The game's afoot with Watson and the unIikely HoImes hot on the traiI of Professor Moriarty (Paul Freeman, Raiders of The Lost Ark), the nefarious mastermind behind a pIot that could topple the British Empire.
Without A Clue features performances by Jeffrey Jones (Ferris Bueller's Day Off) as lnspector Lestrade, Lysette Anthony (Husbands and Wives) as Lesley Giles, Pat Keen (BBC's David Copperfield) as Mrs. Hudson and Peter Cook (Bedazzled) as Norman Greenhough. Thom Eberhardt directs from a screenplay by Larry Strawther and Gary Murphy. |
