''Der Mann, Der Sherlock Holmes War'' (The Man who was Sherlock Holmes) is a German movie produced by ''Universum Film'' (UFA) released on  15 july 1937 (Germany), starring [[Hans Albers]] as Morris Flint/Sherlock Holmes and [[Heinz Rühmann]] as Macky McPherson/Dr. Watson. 106 minutes.

The movie is not a pastiche, but a variation on the theme of Sherlock Holmes. The action takes place in a seedy Parisian palace where are living two detectives Morris Flint ([[Hans Albers]]) and Macky McPherson ([[Heinz Rühmann]]). They are an unlikely couple - Rühmann was as small as Albers was tall - both playing comedies and even singing songs...

These two detectives have the idea to pretend to be Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and investigate into the theft of a valuable stamp and collaborate with the French police. The fake detectives are of course very incompetent. They will eventually be exposed and prosecuted for identity theft. Until they are saved by the intervention at the trial by... Arthur Conan Doyle himself ([[Paul Bildt]]), who reveals to the judges that Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character he invented, which apparently the officials didn't know.
