O tempora, O mores! Even in the Sidney Paget illustration of the (not-so)
final struggle, only his cap flutters to the fall - and his other jousts
with the villians in a couple of short stories were always short, sharp
boxing contests (one unseemly clawing at the face etc. in the Empty house
but not much of that elsewhere too)

And, don't miss - what's with a (what looks like) fashionable rendition of
the good doctor? Is he wearing a
fedora<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_(hat)>?
And those teashades that Law is wearing? What decade is this movie set in?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
