This film really plays up the character of Dr. Watson as a moron, which isn't really fair.
In the few Arthur Conan-Doyle stories I have read, Watson doesn't come across as a buffoon, nor does he in the BBC Radio adaptations.
This image of Dr. Watson as weakminded up against the brilliant Sherlock Holmes isn't even apparent in the old-time radio series starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."
