After resolving a major case of heist of Arts pieces in a museum, Sherlock Holmes (Michael Caine) gives an interview to the press. When they are alone, Dr. John Watson (Ben Kingsley) reprehends Holmes, who is indeed the washed-up drunken dumb and womanizer stage actor Reginald Kincaid. Dr. Watson has created the character since he is a medical doctor that wanted to preserve his medical career and join a famous institution and acted as a detective as a hobby only. After writing short stories about Sherlock Holmes in The Strand Magazine, Holmes becomes popular in London. Now Watson fires Kincaid and decides to assume the investigations by himself as the "The Crime Doctor". However, the publisher does not accept the change. Out of the blue, Scotland Yard's Inspector Lestrade (Jeffrey Jones), who has a beef with Holmes, comes with the British government treasurer to see Holmes about the theft of printing plates of five pounds notes and the disappearance of the responsible Peter Giles (John Warner) in the same night. But they refuse to discuss the subject with Watson, forcing him to hire Kincaid again. Now Watson begins to investigate the case, with the support of the urchin Wiggins (Matthew Savage) and his gang, who knows with Watson's maid Mrs. Hudson (Pat Keen) that Sherlock Holmes is fraud.
"Without a Clue" is a funny comedy that ends with an apology message as follows "With apologies to the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson." The film is a hilarious satire of Sherlock Holmes, with a wonderful cast and locations of the Victorian London. The relationship of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson is unique: a detective that is a drunken third-class actor and a medical doctor that is a brilliant detective. My vote ie seven.
Title (Brazil): "Not available on VHS, DVD or Blu-Ray"
