Director Billy Wilder adds a new and intriguing twist to the personality of intrepid detective Sherlock Holmes. One thing hasn't changed however: Holmes' crime-solving talents. Holmes and Dr. Watson take on the case of a beautiful woman whose husband has vanished. The investigation proves strange indeed, involving six missing midgets, villainous monks, a Scottish castle, the Loch Ness monster, and covert naval experiments. Can the sleuths make sense of all this and solve the mystery?

"First viewing - Sept. 23rd This was pretty good too. I liked the way it connected its dots as it went along, the cast is really good all around (I got really excited when Christopher Lee turned up), and it's solid from start to finish.
