Although Sherlock didnt have a "women" in the original canon there is a movie that tells of his true love. It is tittied The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes. It supposedly was not in the canon becaus it was one of Sherlocks rare failers, and he did not wish for the world to know about it. I dont realy like any fake stories by Doyle wanna-bes, and self proclaimed Sherlockians, however I loved this movie. But it made me cry. [Barley any movies do] I felt so sorry for Holmes, he deservs better. But if you wanna know more you'll have to see the movie. I give it 5 stars.
