Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Without a Clue is an underrated comedy featuring stellar teamwork by two great actors, Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley. This Sherlock Holmes pastiche with a twist stars Kingsley as physician, writer, and self-effacing super-sleuth Dr. John Watson, who channels his genius for deduction into lucrative stories about Holmes. Watson wants the world to believe the fictional private eye actually exists, posing a problem when a steady stream of troubled souls come seeking Holmes's help. The doctor's prescription: hire a two-bit, drunken, skirt-chasing actor (Caine) to portray the Great Detective, an arrangement that causes Watson consternation whenever "Holmes" tries to improvise his way through a case. Wonderful comic timing and tension make Without a Clue a delight; Caine, particularly, gets a lot of mileage out of the faux Holmes's grand efforts to appear a genius. Henry Mancini's score adds a touch of old Hollywood gloss, and Thom Eberhardt (Night of the Comet) directs. --Tom Keogh

Watson is the Genius and Holmes is a Flippertygibbit, Out of work Actor.
Very Well done by both Actors...

This movie is so brilliantly done by such a formidable cast of actors - why it didn't get more attention is truly a mystery! No matter how many times I watch Without A Clue, it always makes me howl out loud with gut busting laughter. Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley are an unbeatable comedy combo. Great viewing for all ages.

If you like Sherlock Holmes Stories and movies you will love the funny side just as much. Michael Caine is out standing in his role as Sherlock Holmes and how he bumbles through his cases and comes out smelling like a rose.
Rating: -
An hilarious movie that wasn't widely seen. Caine and Kinsley are in top form in this spoof of Holmes and Watson. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Without a Clue (1988) directed By Thom Eberhardt is amusing, consistently very funny, impeccably acted Comedy/Crime/Mystery. The greatest mystery remains why this movie is so overlooked? This is a comedy that has got all the right elements, took the beloved classics of mystery genre, looked at them from different angle and retold them in the most enjoyable way. Two of the great modern actors were perfect as beloved characters that were created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and became real for millions ... Read More
