Synopsis

Audiences never seem to tire of the brilliant Baker Street sleuth and filmmakers equally enjoy coming up with new spins on the well-known yet enigmatic character. Here director Billy Wilder casts a jaundiced eye over the legend. He and star Robert Stephens highlight the great detective's dependence on drugs and his emotional remoteness, but don't neglect to throw in a cracking mystery that takes many surprising twists and turns.
