There are so many similarities between BBC Sherlock and The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. Awesome!

@martinidry6300 Жыл бұрын

Apart from EVERYTHING except the Conan Doyle franchise. Benedict Cabbage Patch is a squiity eyed, eminently dislikeable, charmless, Blairite, silverspoon which seeps put of the character (updated to post modern Londonstabistan). The Billy Wilder film is a perfect inverse barometer of that. Arsesome!

I saw this film first when I was four years of age (1973). It made such a great impression on me I never forgot it. I must have seen the original uncut film in German as I remember scenes which are not on the English DVD. Besides, the German dubbing has a much more elaborate language than the English version, so I suspect Billy Wilder had a hand in doing the translation. It is, up to today, one of my favourite top three, and I guess I'm going to watch it tonight.

im one of those people for whom this is a special movie -- but no discussion on the private life of sherlock holmes would be complete without giving a mention to miklos rozsa's superb and haunting score

@omfug7148 6 жыл бұрын

I just rewatched the movie tonight and YES that film score is fantastic--memorable in every way, and is another "character" in the film just like every great film score is pretty much.

@Pavlovafowl 3 жыл бұрын

Well said! In so many film the score either jars with and destroys the narrative or tries to compensate for and cover up the plot holes in a bad one. Here the music is an integral part of the characterisation of Sherlock Holmes and 'haunting' is so apt an adjective. The only comparison I can make - when someone completely caught the idea of the bitter sweet nature of love, was in the line 'Oh how the ghost of you clings', Brian Ferry's vocal interpretation of 'These Foolish Things'.

The violin concerto is haunting and I love it!

@b.gailcooper7530 6 жыл бұрын

Billy Wilder described the movie as "a personal Valentine to a boyhood hero" {Sherlock}. And Robert Stephens as Holmes is fascinating: hidden fires in that man.

Nice comment.

Half the melancholy Gatiss talks about comes from that incredible "Sherlock Holmes Violin Concerto" by composer Miklos Rosza.

I think Robert Stephen's Sherlock had a great influence on Jeremy Brett's Sherlock. The entire complex dimension of the character's sarcasm and melancholy wasn't there in previous versions.

I’m so old that I remember this film being released although I’ve not yet seen it. Excellent cast in Stephens and Blakeley. I’m persuaded by Mark Gatiss that it needs to be seen

@MrUnmutual2014 Жыл бұрын

This film is the On Her Majesty's Secret Service of the Holmes movies and both films are my favourites in the respective series.

Well said Leigh.Love to see this remade with Downey and law but would have to have that score with the violin especially right at the end.still chokes me now when Holmes finds out the spy woman was executed and that she gave her name as Mrs. Holmes

The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes was the last truly great film that Billy Wilder made. A meticulously crafted film, it was a shame it was butchered by the studio. Hopefully one day all of the lost footage will be found and the film is fully restored into 'Wilder's original version.

please make a Sherlock episode on this show. I want to hear them talk about passing themselves off as gay. The flower behind Johns ear, which has been done & see John dancing with the ballerinas. Hysterical. The scene where Sherlock says he enjoyed the womans body. John yells, you cad!!
