SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE DEADLY NECKLACE (1962) Severin Films Blu-ray Review




Severin Films brings to Blu-ray Christopher Lee's singular turn as supersleuth Sherlock Holmes, the German-produced SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE DEADLY NECKLACE (1962), directed by regular Hammer helmer Terence Fisher (who'd previously directed frequent onscreen Lee nemesis Peter Cushing as Holmes in Hammer's THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES), and Thorley Walters (who'd reteam with Fisher and Lee four years later in DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS) as Dr. Watson.


Interesting, moodily-shot black and white suspenser inspired by the wave of Edgar Wallace krimi films coming out of Germany at the time, it's interesting to see a film where Lee doesn't dub his own voice in the English language track, and is dubbed in German for the Deutsch one. Super fun and interesting commentary track with Kim Newman and Barry Forshaw, and additional extras about director Fisher.

Goes places you don't think it will, with a solid cast and some hard to watch moments. Full review here:
