A quotation from Steven Moffat

   MYCROFT: You’ve met him. How many friends do you imagine he has? I’m the closest thing to a friend that Sherlock Holmes is capable of having.
   WATSON: And what’s that?
   MYCROFT: An enemy.
   WATSON: An enemy?
   MYCROFT: In his mind, certainly. If you were to ask him, he’d probably say an arch-enemy. He does love to be dramatic.
   WATSON: Well, thank God you’re above all that.

Steven Moffat (b. 1961) Scottish television writer, producer

Ernst Lubitsch's Eyes of the Mummy (1918) sounds like a horror film but it's a romantic melodrama although there's an ancient Egyptian tomb and a curse, and strange and inexplicable events. Pola Negri stars. Early Lubitsch is so wild and crazy.
