Christopher Lee in "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes"
Loading...
Uploaded by DwightFry78 on Aug 4, 2007
Video dedicated to Hobbitska. Here's the first appearance of Mr. Christopher Lee, one hour into the film, in Billy Wilder's excellent "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes". Mr. Lee plays Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's even smarter, mysterious older brother. Mr. Lee looks nothing like the character as described by Doyle and Paget, who depict him as a portly gentleman (so far Charles Gray, Mr. Lee's nemesis in "The Devil Rides Out" owns the role), but his performance is wonderful and it's a rare opportunity for him to show his talent for deadpan comedy.

interestingly Robert Stephens's best friend, Jeremy Brett, played Holmes many yrs later in the highly acclaimed Granada TV series...hehe...
-
No disrespect to Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett et al. This film, for me, is the best Sherlock Holmes movie ever made. Robert Stephens and Colin blakley are faultless as Holmes and Watson. And Christopher Lee is in there too as Mycroft. Perfect.

@Guitarist500 The great (should be Sir) Christopher Lee is playing Sherlock's smarter brother Mycroft. Robert Stephens is brilliant as the eponymous Sherlock Holmes.

Christopher Lee is the best Sherlock Holmes!
-
Yo are right.I agree with you.Lee's original voice sounds better.I prefere the original versions of every movie.
-
I wish it was that easy! Directors don't own their movies, production companies (the money people) do. Just check the credits of any film for the copyright info.
Movies, specially in America, are primarily made to make money (I don't really blame them, as it's a very expensive media). Art is secondary.
-
Yea but I would refuse to let them.
How could a Director allow a production studio to edit someone's art?
-
Directors don't do that. Producers/studios do. There are hundreds, thousands of examples (from Greed to The Magnificent Ambersons to Dune to Gangs of New York to...)

He looks chubbier to me.

the 3 hour version??
I've seen it, well not all the scenes I mean obviously they're lost, but it really makes much more sense.
Yea a lot of scenes were lost...I fcking hate when directors cut their films for theaters. Like why would you do that?
A Star is Born is a perfect example of a destroyed masterpiece.
