The Private Life of
Sherlock Holmes (1970)
Directed by Billy
Wilder this film stars Robert Stephens, Colin Blakely, Genevieve Page
and Christopher Lee. We follow Holmes and Watson on a case supposedly
so scandalous that Watson required 30 years to pass after his death
before it was made public.
Mixing Sherlock Holmes
with turn of the century Germany spy paranoia this is not really a
particularly remarkable outing for the famous detective. I expected a
lot more from Wilder and Holmes but that does not take away from this
being a fairly decent distraction. Most of the sets and locations are
nice but that is about all this film ever is, nice.
3/5
