This is mainly a video about Sherlock Holmes and his addiction to cocaine strictly bond to his beautiful, brilliant, perfect but tortured mind.
And it's about his friendship with Watson.

Don't be surprised for the plot: this is exactly the way as "The sign of Four" begins and ends.
That's Conan Doyle's canon.

A personal note.
It's not easy to perform such a believable Holmes, the excerpt about the rose, or the way he explains his tendency about cocaine are among the more difficult excerpts from Doyle's scripts. The actor might have seemed overacted, exaggerated or false: but not Jeremy. Jeremy Brett is just perfect as the great thespian he was, and master of stage.
I watch at Sherlock, and I watch at him again and again: no one has the elegance, the grace, the beauty and charm of Jeremy Brett. And his voice, his sensibility, his presence! What a dreamy man!
His portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is outstanding!

Caro Pietro, questo è dedicato a te, perchè so che ti piace tanto Sherlock: anche se per consultarlo, in caso di bisogno, dovremo andare a cercarlo all'arco di San Pierino! ^_^
P.S. certo che a 0:25 , quando gli dice "would you care to try it?", Sherlock ha davvero la faccia da schiaffi! E pensa che è Doyle parola per parola!!!
