"The Sign of Four" - I love Holmes sarcastic responses to police inspector Athelney Jones (who is totally oblivious to the sarcasm). Example:

Athelney Jones: "... What do you think of this, Holmes? Sholto was, on his own confession, with his brother last night. The brother died in a fit, on which Sholto walked off with the treasure. How’s that?”

Sherlock Holmes: “On which the dead man very considerately got up and locked the door on the inside.”

Two of my favorite short Sherlock Holmes stories (and assorted adaptations for television and film) are:
The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
The Red-Headed League

Now - fellow Holmes fans... can you choose between the two?

HOWEVER,
Compare to the opening theme music from the 1954 "Sherlock Holmes" TV series...:

A very nice opening theme from the 1984- Granada "Sherlock Holmes" TV series (Jeremy Brett)...

Just saw "Frenzy" (1972) for the first time.
I'll need to check this film out a few more times before making a 'firm' rating.
Overall I liked it - particularly at the end of Act II / beginning of Act III, where the actual villain has to *earn* the crime, frantically searching for a potential incriminating piece of evidence.
The ending is quite abrupt, but thinking about it - there's not really much more to add.
