Young Sherlock Holmes (1985): The Boy Detective


     Directed by Barry Levinson, produced by Steven Spielberg and written by Chris Columbus, Young Sherlock Holmes and the Pyramid of Fear (1985) presents an alternate view of the meeting between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. In this story, the two meet as young boys at boarding school and solve a series of murders centered around an Egyptian cult. A disclaimer states that this is an imagined work, not conceived by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Victorian period flare and great performances run throughout. Nicholas Rowe plays young Sherlock Holmes. Alan Cox co-stars as John Watson. The supporting cast is good as well, including Anthony Higgins, Sophie Ward and Freddie Jones.
