Sherlock Holmes and The Case of the Silk Stocking was originally produced for BBC television. I'm not a Sherlock Holmes fanatic so I can't be any judge of how accurate it portrays the world's greatest detective but I can say that as a layman I enjoyed it very much.
This version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation is played by Rupert Everett with Ian Hart as Dr. Watson. On the eve of his marriage to an American woman, Watson gets Holmes interested in the acts of a serial killer who is preying on young society girls; his calling card is a silk stocking wrapped around her neck and another stuffed in her mouth. It really is all a bit fetishistic.
The Masterpiece Theatre mini-site has a preview of the film.
