★★★★★ · Algiers · TIGEROSE() · 2026-05-02

for your future information,none of the Sherlock movies had much detail to the surroundings,these films were not for that intention. Simple scenes on streets,inside restaurants or an office,or Holmes and Watson home.were the way of production

★★★ · nothing exotic · Arthur Midower · 2023-10-19

For most of the film, they are on a steamer with just over a dozen passengers. The plot twists keep you guessing, so the film is fine for fans of the team of Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce, but it was a disappointment for me since I expected that there would be scenes of them in Algiers.
