Without a Clue is a 1988 British comedy film directed by Thom Eberhardt and starring Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley.
Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character created by Dr. John Watson (Ben Kingsley) as the central character in a series of short stories published in Strand Magazine. Watson uses the character to enable him to solve crimes incognito, so as not to disrupt his career as a doctor during a period when he was applying for a post at an exclusive hospital, one in which the senior staff would frown on Watson's "hobby". Although he does not secure the job, Watson decides to satisfy public demand to see Holmes in person by hiring unemployed actor Reginald Kincaid (Michael Caine) to play the part of the fictional detective.
Continuing to investigate cases, now with Kincaid as "Holmes" by his side, Watson is the detective hidden behind the charade of the fictional Sherlock Holmes. Kincaid must rely on direction from Watson, memorizing the doctor's exacting, detailed instructions every step of the way.
I hold a photograph
I get lost in the way it was
It’s like a treasure map
To all I’ve had
I found you along the way
I remember how you’d look at me
Skies are never grey in the past
CHORUS
Remember when falling stars were meant for you
We’d always find the love to fall into
Everything felt like April, May and June
We got so far without a clue
Each day’s a second chance
To make up for what I missed before
I come with empty hands
And a prayer
I’d forgotten who I was
‘til I stumbled through my history
I came to life because you were there
CHORUS
You can’t get that far
In a broke down car
That’s where we seem to be
Maybe all we are is a memory
