Odd to watch a film when the sound sync is off....

I think it's lovely bit of writing that they made Holmes continue sitting there with his pipe while Watson went to sleep in the same room.

Holmes got tricked in this one, he was a stage actor and can recognize the face under the makeup, yet failed to realize that the beggar he seen a few times was a fake..but long live holmes anyway!

@celloLWF Sometimes I think Doyle wrote male characters who believe in the 'popular theories' about women, but didn't prescribe to them himself. Holmes says some remarkably misogynistic things, and then gets his ass handed to him by Irene Adler. It seems that often when one of Doyle's male characters goes "oh, she's just a woman" and ignores female advice/warnings they wind up missing digits or stabbed to death. It's almost weirdly subversive in places, given the opinions of the time.

one that little girl was adorable with her little doll in her arm toddling about.

@HorrorFrogPrincess: Hmmm, not really. As much as Holmes struggles to deal with women's irrationality he also values female intuition. Not to forget, as rational as Holmes may be, Doyle also fitted him out with a good deal of female intuition himself.
I do wonder what Holmes would've been like as a father. Sure as hell, his kids would never misbehave around him! He'd know exactly what they've been up to, every minute of every hour of every day of the week. They'd never be able to hide a single damn thing from father. And certainly not from Uncle Mycroft...
