The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes
A bored Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson head for Loch Ness in search of the missing husband of Gabrielle Valladon (Genevieve Page). The investigation proves strange indeed, involving six missing midgets, villainous monks, a Scottish castle, the Loch Ness monster, and covert naval experiments.

Affectionately conceived, chock-full of marvelous subtleties, this meticulously constructed adventure-romance shouldn't be missed.

It is in large part old-fashioned, in that it's mile-wide and ancient-history Sherlock Holmes, but it's also handsomely produced and directed with incisiveness by Wilder.

The plotting is weak, and ill-served by the movie's generally lackadaisical approach; but the dialogue is witty, and Wilder and Diamond get a lot of mileage out of the idea that Sherlock Holmes is as fragile as he is brilliant.

Wilder's second most underrated masterpiece.

This existing version is still fascinating, funny and clever.

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes is comparatively mild Billy Wilder and rather daring Sherlock Holmes, not a perfect mix, perhaps, but a fond and entertaining one.

A true evocation of the spirit of the Strand Magazine, this is the best Holmes movie ever made and sorely underrated in the Wilder canon.
October 23, 2004
Before the movie is 20 minutes old, Wilder has settled for simply telling a Sherlock Holmes adventure.

Holmes is an extremely amusing and engaging picture, taking care of all the expected detective work as it offers a few surprises of its own.

A wonderful, cruelly underrated film.
