The Madness of Sherlock Holmes (2007)
Member Rating:  
Ever since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle first introduced him to readers back in 1887, Sherlock Holmes has fascinated fans of mystery fiction worldwide, and in this occult-oriented documentary filmmaker Phillip Gardiner explores the mind of both the author and the enduring characters he created. In exploring the life of Doyle, Gardiner uncovers a bizarre mystery of his own, one that seems almost stranger than the wildly imaginative fiction he penned for the written page. A tormented author with ominous ties to secret societies, the man who gave birth to Holmes, Moriarty, and Watson is almost as great a mystery as The Hound of the Baskervilles. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I got about three minutes worth of content and had to endure endless lethargic photo montages with no purpose. The commonalities in life between Doyle and Ian Fleming were interesting and the only real take away...save your time, you will never get that 75 minutes of your life back (felt like several hours!).

Don't waste your time. You could make a better documentary yourself.
