I'll be interested to hear what you think of the movie. I drove up to DC this afternoon for the lovely occasion of my great-aunt's 95th birthday--and I listened to "The Sign of Four" in the car. Now, I thought they had probably camped things up in the movie--but, no, not really. Holmes is shooting up w/ cocaine and Watson is nursing his war wound in the first paragraph--and by the second disc, Holmes is climbing on the rooftops barefoot....
Also, the boxing thing is totally canon. If I ever knew that (last read the books in college), I'd forgotten!
