I seem to recall a silly made-for-TV movie starring Larry Hagman as a
modern-day policeman who thinks he is Sherlock Holmes.  His female psy-
chiatrist (Dr. Watson, naturally) refrains from "curing" him so that he
can solve some baffling mystery.  The mystery itself mercifully escapes
me, but it was probably one of those typically TV mysteries where the
first person they meet is the criminal and everybody knows it except the
people in the movie.

Oh, by the way, the reason Hagman thinks he is Holmes is because he's
reading A. Conan Doyle when his motorcycle falls on his head!  Seriously!
