Sketchy recollections of having seen this movie ages ago. Amazed that Billy Wilder made it; think of him more making movies with Jack Lemmon (although he did make Stalag 17 and Sabrina, among others). Here Robert Stephens plays Holmes, and Colin Blakely does Holmes. The film has not aged well; the actors seem to be overplaying the characters, and if there is one thing that typifies Holmes it is subtlety. Perhaps for being a Hollywood film, it seems silly. Still, Holmes is always fun to watch.
