The Holmes film is considered a US/UK co-production. Nicholas Meyer did not direct it, he wrote the original novel. Herbert Ross directed the film.

Original film where Freud helps Holmes taking off from cocaïne, there's also V.Redgrave in it too, a very well done film I think....

The normally excellent Duval lets it down badly as Watson IMHO

Agreed.

Really nice design from Ken Adam -- in Holmes' study, when he's mad, all the books on the shelves are leaving at angles, creating a sense of disorder and chaos.

It's got an original Stephen Sondheim song which is always a nice bonus.

Also the action scenes are very well directed, with the horses in the arena, the tennis match (between Freud and a "very nationalist" prussian !), on the train, I don't think Conan Doyle wrote it,like when S.H meet the ripper for example, but , for me it's a very good scipt. The encounter of two myths is always interesting, no ? And, at the end, he goes on a Danub trip with a woman, getting some rest (,...and without Watson !), very unuasual .....
The actor who play S.H as also interpreted Merlin in Excalibur, I think.

As stated in an earlier post, it is from a novel by Nicholas Meyer.
