Review
Our Score
by
David Parkinson
No fictional character has been portrayed more often on screen than Sherlock Holmes, but of the scores of actors to tackle the role, few deserved a second outing beneath the famous deerstalker more than John Neville. In this neatly plotted, at times gruesome, picture, based on an Ellery Queen novel, he gives a stylish performance as Baker Street's most famous tenant - a portrayal which is all the more impressive for the lack of acting or sleuthing support he receives from Donald Houston as Watson. Director James Hill re-creates the Whitechapel of the Jack the Ripper era with evident relish, and the solution is a corker.
Summary
Sherlock Holmes receives a mysterious package with a connection to a series of murders. Aided by his brother Mycroft and trusty sidekick Dr Watson, he is soon on the trail of the Victorian age's most infamous killer - Jack the Ripper. His investigation leads to a conspiracy involving eminent politicians and the aristocracy. Thriller, with John Neville, Donald Houston, John Fraser, Robert Morley, Judi Dench and Barbara Windsor.
