''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson'' ((ロシア語:Приключения Шерлока Холмса и доктора Ватсона)) is a 1980 Soviet film adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories about Sherlock Holmes. It is the second film (episodes 3-5) in ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson'' film series directed by Igor Maslennikov. The film is based on three stories by Conan Doyle – "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton", "The Final Problem", "The Adventure of the Empty House". ==Part 1: The King of Blackmailers== After solving another case, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson go back to London by train. Holmes explains Watson how the victim was killed; later, after returning to Baker Street, detective deduces what happened in their flat when they were absent. Watson is very impressed and tells Sherlock that his deduction skills are so high because of constant exercises. But Holmes answers that they are probably hereditary, because Sherlock's elder brother, Mycroft has much better ability to deduction, though he almost doesn't use it. Shortly afterwards, Holmes and Watson are invited by Mycroft to the Diogenes Club, the club for the most unsociable men of London, where even talking is banned. There, Mycroft asks Sherlock to help young Lady Eva Blackwell. She is blackmailed by one of the most villainous men of London, Charles Augustus Milverton. The latter demands £7,000 for the letters, which would cause a scandal that would end Lady Eva's marriage engagement. Sherlock agrees to help her. The same day Milverton himself shows up at 221B. He knows about Holmes' task and refuses to get the letters back, unless being paid seven thousands. Sherlock understands that he has to steal these letters from Milverton. Watson joins him. After learning the plan of blackmailer's house and his daily routine from his housemaid, the two burgle Milverton's headquarters at night. They find the letters in his safe, but have to hide behind the curtain for Charles Augustus suddenly appears in the room. He has a meeting with a supposed maidservant offering to sell letters that would compromise her mistress. The woman is actually Lady Huksley, whose broken-hearted husband died when she wouldn't pay Milverton and he revealed her secret. Now Lady Huksley revenges, killing the blackmailer with a revolver. She takes the note he read from his dead hand and leaves. Holmes and Watson destroy Lady Eva's letters and run away from Milverton's servants. But they leave many clues to the police: Sherlock's blood (he cut himself with glass) and Watson's shawl and boot. The next morning, Inspector Lestrade visits 221B. He investigates Milverton's murder and asks detective for assistance. Luckily, Lestrade can't even imagine to suspect Holmes or Watson, and leaves after Sherlock's refuse. In the end, Holmes and Watson go to Lady Huksley's house. Sherlock asks for the note which Lady has taken and which is signed by the "M" letter, made up of four crossed swords. She pretends to know nothing about that, but later sends the note to detective by mail. The note is encrypted. Holmes starts to decrypting it, looking forward for a new puzzle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
