Synopsis
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Treasures of Agra (1983) — watch online on iFILM, the fourth instalment of Igor Maslennikov's Soviet Holmes series, with Vasily Livanov and Vitaly Solomin. Livanov's portrayal became so internationally definitive that the British Embassy in Moscow later presented him with an honorary award recognising it.
A young woman visits Baker Street: her father died under suspicious circumstances a decade ago, and anonymous letters have since started arriving. The trail winds through a colonial-era murder, a fortune traced back to an Indian fortress, and a network of old grudges that are very much alive. Watson, meanwhile, is about to meet someone who interests him far more than the case does.
Maslennikov built his version of Baker Street around character rather than plot mechanics — the real pleasure is watching two very different men who happen to work well together. Stream The Treasures of Agra (1983) online on iFILM.
