They will not feel for them
Towards the end of the film, Sherlock Holmes delivers a speech to the people in power in England. He says: “You will not feel for them” and refers to the people in society who are ‘down and out’, the poor people. He says this is the true crime of it all, that the rich and powerful do not feel for the powerless and poor. Conan Doyle was certainly never so outspoken and in this way this film even surpasses Conan Doyle. It is a milestone in movie-history, which the people in power do not want to see distributed, so it seems, since it is very hard to find and especially not available on DVD, which is more than just suspicious with that cast and the filmic qualities (aside from the social ones) which are considerable. It is truly horrific at times and even a hardened viewer like myself finds under-currents in the brutal scenes which are frightening. The murder with the gruesome too large pupil of the eye is especially horrifying. A 10+ out of 10.
