Did Holmes ever say "Elementary, My Dear Watson"?- Holmes did say "Elementary" to Watson on one occasion, but never uttered the entire phrase in a Doyle work.
- As is often the case (with literary characters), this signature phrase apparently originated with a derivative, non-canonical work: In the 1929 film The Return of Sherlock Holmes, written by Basil Dean and Garrett Fort, the renowned Baker Street detective (as portrayed by actor Clive Brook) speaks the line, "Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary."
