Sherlock Holmes - The Final Problem (1986)

The dialogue is, in large portions, taken directly from the short story by Conan Doyle, in which he tried to get rid of Holmes' shadow. Here you see Sidney Paget's drawing of Moriarty - and one reason why Porter was such an inspired casting: http://content.answers.com/main/conte...
