Actually, I'd forgotten that Watson had to save Holmes's life in the film and that Holmes had killed Watson's wife through his ego, etc. This could be because I've tried to erase most of the 2002 version of The Hound of the Baskervilles from my memory. *g*
I have to confess that I quite like Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking, though I can see why it might not be for everyone. I actually get a kick out of it because of the interaction between Watson's fiancee and Holmes. The fiancee is an American psychologist (I think it was a psychologist) who insists on referring to Holmes as "Sherlock" and isn't at all put out when he openly insults her. Then, when she's actually able to give him some information that will help him with his current case, he's grudgingly forced to respect her and accept her as Watson's future wife.
There are other things I like about the film, but that scene between with Holmes and Watson's fiancee is one of my favourites. If you have it on your HDs, I think it might be worth a second glance. Otherwise, it might be something you can rent. Hell, it might even be on YouTube.
