"Believing he's landed in Israel, famed envoy Henry Gropinger greets his hosts with `mazel tov.'

The mastermind, they suspect, is a descendant of Professor Moriarty. Reasoning that, like any reputable villain, he `will stop at nothing,' Holmes and Watson do ... nothing. That failing, they try to lure their enemy to a detective's convention, whose guests include Columbo and Sam Spade." (TV Guide)

In this idiotic Holmes production -- the worst of the lot -- a department-store detective must save the Master Detective. He wasn't worth saving! Only has-been actors would agree to appear in such a stupid production. Dramatizations like this not only do Holmes a great injustice but surely must adversely affect his image and popularity among the general public.

With cunning disguises and clever traps employed by both sides, Holmes and Watson race the clock, trying to keep a step ahead of their arch-enemy, to rescue Mycroft and keep England's greatest military secrets from falling into the wrong hands."

"Sherlock Holmes [Daniel Chapman] and his trusted aide Dr. John H. Watson [David Bowman.] teach library staff and users the hows and why of preventive preservation.

"The 15-minute videotape shows the ways that books are `murdered' by poor handling. The murder methods exposed by the detective include too-tight shelving, careless removal from the shelf, paper clips and rubber bands left between pages, and eating and drinking in the library.

"The video was produced by Columbia University's Department of Libraries Conversation with a $20,000 grant from the New York State Education Department. The shooting, using professional actors and crew, took place in mid-March in the Philosophy Reading Room of Columbia's Butler Library." (American Libraries, 18, October 1987, p. 797-798)
