Perry Metzger recalls a Holmes TV movie with the same plot as Ralph Merkle's
post.  Perry, you're not going senile, I saw the same movie.  I rather
enjoyed it.  The female Watson was played, as I recall, by Margaret
Colin-Baker, a most lovely young lady.  Two scenes are still fresh in my
mind:

Holmes wakes up from suspension, and utters his first words in nearly a
century before his eyes are open: "You are an American, from California, I
believe."

When he runs headlong into a swimming pool in hot pursuit of the bad guys,
he furiously sputters, "What the devil is this... ...POND doing here!"

It does a decent job of showing the reactions of a Victorian gentleman to
modern Los Angeles.
