About this product

Product Information

In what may be the director's most personal film, he makes use of incidents from his own life in exploring the mystery of Sherlock Holmes' sexual preference and past romances. Robert Stephens stars as the fictional detective, shooting cocaine to alleviate the boredom that plagues him between cases. But his ennui evaporates when he and longtime colleague Dr. Watson (Colin Blakely) receive tickets to the performance of a Russian ballet company. Afterwards, Petrova (Tamara Toumanova), the prima ballerina asks Holmes to become the father of his child, intending to combine her beauty with his intellect. Homes refuses on the basis that he and Watson are lovers, greatly annoying his staunchly heterosexual companion, who begins to wonder whether the detective really is gay. Before this mystery can be solved, the two men find Gabrielle Valladon (Genvieve Page), a beautiful and intriguing woman in the grip of amnesia, on their doorstep. When she remembers that she's seeking her husband, Holmes agrees to take the case, and is soon off to Scotland. Matters grow progressively more bizarre, as the detective must deal with the Loch Ness monster, a family of midgets, and an experimental submarine. Unique among the director's films, it's steeped in a bittersweet romanticism, expressing a vulnerabilty and self-doubt found nowhere else in the body of his work. Robert Stephens, who was so overwhelmed by the intense sense of self-loathing Wilder wished him to explore that he attempted suicide during production, is excellent as Holmes, and the florid romanticism of Miklos Rosza's violin concerto creates a suitable ambiance.

    Billy Wilder solves Sherlock Holmes

    I am a big fan of CBS Elementary. Billy Wilder paints Holmes in the same light. Holmes has all the characteristics we have grown to love. Billy Wilder incorporates the human side of the great detective. How Holmes has difficulty dealing with all the noise that surrounds all of us in our daily life. A great movie.

    The Holy Grail of missing footage...

    The U.K. DVD of this film only contains the release version - so let us move on. The U.S. DVD has additional features. There is a piece featuring Christopher Lee which is nice - and another piece featuring the original editor which is quite revealing (although it does go on a bit - and his mic was WAY too far from his mouth). And there are also some nice stills from the shoot. But the most important part of the disk is/are the famous "deleted scenes". The movie was originally planned as a "road-show" movie or "mega-movie". I.e., in the days of PROGRAMMES (an "A" movie, a "B" movie, a short, a cartoon, a news-reel, a serial - plus the usual ads and trailers) they made BIG movies that were the length of a double-bill - with an interval in the middle. Films like "The Great Escape", "The ...

    Private life of Sherlock

    Worthwhile for Holmes fans but a bit strained and boring overall.
