<br />
''Without a Clue'' (working title: ''The Imposter of Baker Street'') is a British movie released on 21 october 1988 (USA) and on 28 april 1989 (UK), produced by ''ITC Entertainement Group'', starring [[Michael Caine]] as Sherlock Holmes and [[Ben Kingsley]] as Dr. Watson. 107 min.<br />
<br />
The movie is undoubtedly the most funny parody ever made about [[Sherlock Holmes]] on cinema. The plot is original as the famous duo is somewhat reverted... Watson is the true mastermind who created the character of Sherlock Holmes and who has entrusted the role to a crazy actor who has all the flaws possible. The pace of the film never wavers and many gags are very precise. In addition, there is a lot of sherlockian reference. Thus, preceding the opening credits scene was directly inspired by [[REDH|The Red-Headed League]] with the arrest of [[John Clay]]. The movie won the 1989 Special Jury Prize at the detective film festival in Cognac (France).<br />
