Default Sherlock Holmes Films and TV

Does anybody know where I can copies of the following Sherlock Holmes films:

They Might Be Giants
Sherlock Holmes and the Temporal Nexus
Crucifer of Blood
The Clue According to Sherlock Holmes


Also, does anybody have a lead on the legendary lost Holmes film:
The Missing Rembrandt
(I once saw this on sale on eBay Canada, as an amateur conversion to DVD, but was foolish enough to let it slip through my fingers - Help!)

Sherlock Holmes and the Temporal Nexus was intended as a sequel to the atrocious Hound of London with Patrick MacNee. AFAIK, due to the abject failure of that film, the sequel was never made. It is not listed on IMDB.

They Might Be Giants is available commercially on Region 1 DVD via amazon.co.uk et al.

The Missing Rembrandt is believed to be completely lost .... I have never seen it for sale on Ebay or anywhere else. The Sleeping Cardinal recently surfaced after being believed missing and that has been sold on Ebay (I have a copy myself).

The Crucifer of Blood was released on VHS a few years ago but has long been deleted. It sometimes appears on Ebay in that format or as a DVDR.

I have never heard of The Clue According To Sherlock Holmes ..... do you have any more details? This film isn't listed on IMDB either.

Don't miss out on a chance to win a rare film in Bat-Quiz 13 closing date - 31/8/8.

I will ask my friend, a devout Sherlockian, about these films. I think he might have the first one at least.

Alas, no luck here either. Here is the message from my Sherlockian friend, from Spain:

"I have images and information of all except "The Clue According To Sherlock Holmes", but as DVD, I only have "They Might Be Giants" and "The Crucifer of Blood" dubbed in Spanish recorded from TV in a DVD. "The Missing Rembrandt" is the second movie of the five done by Arthur Wontner and is a lost movie. I talked about it with Julian Wontner. From time to time, there are rumors about people who says he saw the film or can have a copy, but all are rumors. Maybe one day appears a copy.

"Is sad because in "The Missing Rembrandt" Wontner appeared disguissed as an old lady and a clergyman. I have photographs of the disguisses. And if your remember, we saw in Barcelona with the Sherlockian association "They Might Be Giants" past Saturday. Here was called "El detective y la doctora". "

I saw it on a US released VHS that belonged to a friend of mine. Alas, I am no longer in touch with him.

Does anybody have a copy of Tom Baker in the BBC Hound Of the Baskervilles from 1982? This hasn't been commercially released, so I'm happy to trade with someone for a copy of this.

Someone must have a copy!!

Default Another rarity

Does anybody know where a copy of 'Sherlick Holmes' (1976) is to be found? It stars Harry Reams and Sue Rowan.

This is much harder to find than I thought...
