I've recently started to wonder how often (if ever) lines of dialouge that appear in ACD's canonical stories make their way into non-canonical works, such as this film.
Any stand out to other viewers who are also lovers of the original stories?
Thanks.
I think there are many. I am currently on a Holmes binge and if I note any I will post here.
Non-canonical or not, this is probably my favorite Sherlock Holmes feature film. Robert Stephens is just brilliant. I also love Jeremy Brett (very canonical) and now Benedict Cumberbatch, but I think Robert Stephens did a fantastic job of making Holmes more appealing to a modern audience by making him subtly vulnerable/emotional/sexual.
Is the "parsley in the butter" line canonical? Watson says it in the movie but I don't recall reading it in ACD, although I have seen it in books about Holmes and Doyle.

Here's one:
. . . my mind rebels against stagnation. It's like a racing engine, tearing itself to pieces because it's not connected up with the work for which it was built.
