Without a Clue (1988). I ordered the DVD from Netflix.
I love all things Sherlock Holmes ... from the original Conan Doyle writings, to the film/TV interpretations, and including the presentations that "take license" with the character set-up, as we know it.
In this comedy, Michael Caine is Sherlock Holmes/Richard Kincade. And, Ben Kingsley is Dr. Watson, who is the REAL genius sleuth. Watson found actor Kincade, and convinced him to play the role of a famous detective which would free his (Watson's) time for concentration on cases. Mrs. Hudson, and Professor Moriarty, are the only two who know the truth.
Caine is great as the hapless/hopeless Holmes. And, Kingsley plays his role with a lovely dignified humor.
There's a little more slapstick than I'm crazy about, but it fits. 8/10.
