The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
Billy Wilder | 1970 | UK | 35mm | 125m
Cut down by 75 minutes, Wilder's passion project remains a glorious, playful episodic alternative take in which the master detective contends with romantic disappointment and the mystery of the Loch Ness monster. Robert Stephens is Holmes, Colin Blakely is Watson, and Christopher Lee is Holmes's brother Mycroft.
