    This edition is presented with English intertitles and an original score composed and performed by Neil Brand, Guenter Buchwald, and Frank Bockius. The film faithfully retains the play's famous set pieces, Holmes's encounter with Professor Moriarty, his daring escape from the Stepney Gas Chamber, and the tour-de-force deductions. It also illustrates how Gillette, who wrote the adaptation himself, wove bits from Conan Doyle's stories ranging from "A Scandal in Bohemia" to "The Final Problem," into an original, innovative mystery play.
