Considered by many Holmesians to be one of the finest Sherlock Holmes films ever made, Billy Wilder’s The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes is both an affectionate parody and a brilliant, melancholy celebration of Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary detective. Sherlock Holmes (Robert Stephens) and Dr. Watson (Colin Blakely) are drawn into a mysterious case involving a woman found floating in the River Thames, leading them on an investigation that takes them to Scotland and brings them face to face with monks, dwarfs, and even the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Can the great detective solve this most peculiar mystery?
