Episode 622: The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970)

The game is afoot as we kick off a month looking at four films featuring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes. One of the most adapted characters in the history of cinema, we’ve all grown up with a variety of actors and interpretations of Holmes. In this series we’re looking at four from the 1970s and, on this episode, we are discussing Billy Wilder’s 1970 film The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes.

The film stars Robert Stephens as Holmes and Colin Blakely as Watson along with Christopher Lee as Mycroft Holmes and Geraldine Page as the mysterious Gabrielle Valladon.

Aaron Peterson (The Hollywood Outsider) and playwright and author David MacGregor join Mike all month for some Sherlockian talk.
