Always charming if not perfectly balanced, this Sherlock Holmes is the full package. It combines trademark characteristics of the literary sleuth with wry wit and even some parodic changes to give it a flavor that's both familiar and unique.

Billy Wilder’s dryly comedic tribute to the iconic sleuth benefits from a great performance by Robert Stephens. He may be one of the best actors for the role of Sherlock Holmes. Colin Blakely has some fun moments as a slightly more irritable Doctor Watson. Christopher Lee is sorely underused as Mycroft Holmes;he’s a better fit someone like Moriarty instead. The cinematography and imagery paints a lovely picture of Victorian London and the Scottish highlands in its third act. The central mystery is kind of interesting but it takes a while getting there.

I really don't know what Billy Wilder was going for in this film. I thought it was terrible.
