The White Glove
It was a new interpretation of Anton Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard". In this detective story two mining engineers (Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson) solves a White Glove case in the Ranievskaia estate in Russia.
It was the first time when Anthony Higgins played Sherlock Holmes. Ten years later, he'll show a new view at this personage in Kenneth Johnson's "1994 Baker Street: Sherlock Holmes Returns".
