The Return of Sherlock Holmes - DVD

Sherlock Holmes, detective par excellence, and Dr. Watson, his biographer and companion, leave England for New York. Soon, they're matching wits with the infamous Professor James Moriarty and must come to the aid of Holmes' longtime love, Irene Adler.

Ivan Reitman, producer of National Lampoon's Animal House and producer/director of Ghostbusters, brings you Big Shots, a slam-bang comedy-adventure with a heart as big as Chicago. It centers on the unlikely but very special friendship that develops between two 11-year-old boys. Obie is a kid from the lily-white suburbs struggling with the recent death of his father while Scam is a product of the inner city, streetwise but equally alone.

When a young prince is accused of a crime that could embroil him in international scandal, debonair super sleuth Sherlock Holmes comes to his aid, and quickly discovers that behind the incident lurks a criminal mastermind eager to reduce Western civilization to anarchy. Adapted from the hugely popular stage version of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories (by William Gillette), Sherlock Holmes not only provided Barrymore with one of his most prestigious early roles, but also presented the screen debuts of two notable actors William Powell (The Thin Man) and Roland Young (Topper). Sherlock Holmes was mastered from a 35 mm restoration by the George Eastern House Motion Picture Department, and is accompanied by a score by Ben Model, performed on the Miditzer Virtual Theater Organ.
