Sir James Damery asks Holmes for help in persuading Violet Merville to end her association with Baron Gruner, a villain who murdered his last wife abroad. After discovering that Gruner is obsessed with the women he has had relationships with, Holmes passes on vital information in the case against the evil man. Intrigue and deception are the order of the day - but is it all too much for the great detective? (iTunes)

I'm not familiar with Doyle's short story, so I'm missing the comparison this time, but the film is extraordinary. Holmes has a great adversary and the story can go almost any way. The scene when a battered Jeremy Brett shows up in Gruner's office with a gaze like some kind of angel of the apocalypse is flawless. ()
