- 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.

Christopher Lee - the only actor who played both Sherlock Holmes and Mycroft Holmes
I came here because I was watching a Sherlock Holmes documentary after the final episode of series 3 of the BBC show. In it, Mark Gatiss said his portrayal of Mycroft was very much inspired by Christopher Lee's interpretation in the role. I can defiantly see the resemblance.
I mean Charles Gray is my Mycroft Holmes but the best Sith lords and best swordsmen of the Jedi back then has a special place in my heart. Rest well both of you fantastic lads.
The snappy dialog comes from one of Hollywood's great writer / directors Billy Wilder. Why can't writers produce entertaining material like this today?
Because they are all talentless punks, too busy in their self-entitled and wrong-headed political endeavours to have time to learn anything worthwhile. This was a perfect film by one of the three greatest directors of all time.
Most of the good writers are doing television.
@@Shadowman4710 I hadn't noticed - and it seems very unlikely. I don't know what happened to all the talent (actors too). Then there's he musical score for TPLoSH, which was written by Rozsa (Ben Hur). Now all we get is Hans bloody Zimmer.
@@anthonyat2401 Let me clarify. I'm including cable tv and streaming services in that statement. Obviously the writing levels in network television are as garbage as they were 50 years ago....because the same people watching now were watching "Love Boat" then. The rest of us have moved on. As for the acting, I think it's better than it was during "the Golden Age" but you have to be selective.
@@Shadowman4710 There's the odd drama on UK TV that is occasionally well-written but the plastic writing and acting in everything else has led me to virtually stop watching TV drama as well. An exception would be the two (so far) "American Crime Series" offerings - the first virtually a black comedy on OJ and the second, "The Assassination of Gianni Versacci". Botyhe excellent productions.
Isn't that room they're in beautiful? Why can't I live in such comfort, luxury, and style? Oh well, it'd be Hell to dust!
And notice you can actually hear the room, and the audio perspective shifts with distance. This was still the boom mic era. No lavs used.
Watson is clearly the tactful buffer between the undermosity between the Holmes brothers. I like Christopher Lee's quiet dignity that makes the underlying menace so chilling. Mark Gatiss has looked up to this performance.
RIP. One of my favorite Mycrofts...
This film is a gem. One of Billy Wilder`s most underated.
I can see where Mark Gatiss got the idea for Sherlock and Mycroft's relationship in the BBC show.
"Why don't you crumple it up and swallow it, just to make sure"
:)
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.
That is fine.. Jeremy Brett didn't make movies. He only made the TV shows.. Where each story was done by him and each one was directly off the pages of the book.. He was by far and away the closest to the books over everyone else.
Quite right. It's a gorgeous film, and the actors are perfect.
Sir Robert Stephens and Christopher Lee in one movie...the actor chops is of the scale.
Amazing indeed for Mr Lee, who has portrayed Sherlock Holmes, and narrated many of the stories. I never knew about this film, but I think I need to watch it. TJLC, indeed!
This is a neat scene, all three characters are played in a cute kind of fashion--and the rivalry of the 2 brothers is almost childlike ^_^
damn this comment was made when I was four
yayoineko you were so real for this
If Mark Gatiss says we should see this, then we should see it.
Congratulations, Sir Christopher Lee!
Sherlock's accent 🥺 ... beautiful
One has to love this scene, of course, as the whole of Wilder's movie, and Lee. As far as Doyle's and Paget's Mycroft is concerned that - while I agree that Charles Gray made the role his own, partly by playing it five times, and splendidly - Robert Morley was perfect casting in A Study in Terror, for he really looked the part.
I also love the Morley portrayal
He is flawless.
Great film
Actually yes, which makes Wilder's choice of Lee for the part quite puzzling, but his performance is amazing anyway.
There's a suit of armour in the room...just like the one Mark Gatiss had in one room of his version of Mycroft Holmes. You can tell where Gatiss got his inspiration from for his characterization.
Great movie!
His best part
@Guitarist500 The great (should be Sir) Christopher Lee is playing Sherlock's smarter brother Mycroft. Robert Stephens is brilliant as the eponymous Sherlock Holmes.
One might point out that the Jack the Ripper case might have been peculiar enough to make Mycroft move out of his railway tracks and visit his little brother. After all, Doyle had him visiting Baker Street in The Bruce-Partington Plans.
Christopher Lee is the best Sherlock Holmes!
XD The only one who pwns Sherlock is his brother Mycroft. ^__^
It's weird seeing Christopher Lee without is Toupee.
You're very welcome! Do get the film, it's great, and Mr. Lee has some wonderful moments near the end (which I can not upload without spoiling anything).
Yes, he is.
At least Gray had The 7% to get the character totally right. It's amazing how many things that one got right for being non-canon, even down to a limping Watson. As for Lee's version, him moving is somewhat justifiable plot-wise because it's such a peculiar case. And at least we didn't get him visiting Baker Street!
Miklos Rosza sent me here.
Shite! I haven't seen this since 1970! I want it!
But Christopher Lee is thinner than Robert Stephens...
I imagine Mycroft as looking like the Paget drawing, kind of like Robert Morley, maybe a bit less portly.
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.
Continuity; where is Sherlock's untouched glass of Madeira as he exits?
But there's no Director's Cut... Most of the deleted scenes are lost or partially lost (for some we only have the picture or the audio, but not both).
I'm sure Christopher Lee is without his wig in this film.
mě by to taky položilo na několik dní,jenže mně už se podobná situace stala,tak už to tak moc neberu:)
I've seen the Italian dubbed version of "Deadly Necklace". They gave Mr. Lee a totally non-appropriate, high-pitched, almost girly voice!
Morley was great, but I didn't think the approach to the character in A Study in Terror was true to Doyle. There, Mycroft was too willing to leave the Diogenes Club (he was the one visiting Sherlock instead of the other way around), thus stripping him of his most colourful characteristic.
Still, Mycroft played no active part in the mystery in A Study in Terror, while he did in Private Life. And the way Study treats the Ripper case doesn't really make it stand out (it's very B-movie-ish, after all). It looked much more peculiar in Murder by Decree, no matter how many aspects about Holmes that one got wrong.
where is the "deadpan comedy" though?
is christopher lee really bald in here?
:) jj naprosto souhlasim :)
ale stejně se mi to s tou parukou nějak nezdá xD
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...)
True. But then, this was the problem with all cinematic Mycrofts, wasn't it? Lee was moving from London up to Scotland, Gray (at least in the Brett series, not in The 7% Solution) really is all over the place. I won't discuss that weird little rat-faced fellow from The Golden Years of Sherlock Holmes. The problem with a mobile Mycroft is, of course, that this makes Sherlock only the second greatest detective ...
mí nejoblíbenější herci sou: na 1. místě samozřejmě Lee a pak Daniels a McDiarmid.
ale pak sem si řekla že to psal jen jeden člověk a ostatní píšou jak je úžasnej,a podle těch všech videí,atd..tak sem tu situaci nějak přehodnotila a už ty věci z netu neberu tak moc vážně..prostě se k tomu stavim jinak,kdyby všude psali že má Lee paruku a Daniels uráží všechny kolem sebe tak tomu možná věřim,ale takhle fkt moc ne:)
jaktože nemá vlasy? O.o
já to tam nějak nevidim..můžeš mi pls do profilu poslat přímo tu větu?
ale stejně,... se mi to nějak nezdá... někdy to co čteš na netu sou strašný blbosti, kdo co řek, atd... vono je taky někdy dobrý ne všemu zrovna věřit.. možná je to pravda, ale řekla bych, že by se to nějak provalilo na veřejnost.. nvm, no
a ikdybyže má paruku, tak to stejně nemění nic na tom že je můj životní vzor... ono je podle mně důležitěší, to jakej člověk je a co má v hlavě a ne jak vypadá (ikdyž Lee vypadá dobře xD )
Is the Diogenes club the Holmes universe' equivalent of the Freemasons/Committee of 300 (aka illuminati)?
+Karrie Dreammind en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diogenes_Club
Interesting idea, a club of no sound.
Alas no it was filled by the most unclubable members who were refused by everyone except the dioganise club
Larry Ballenger cover. you're looking at the inspiration for the Kingsmen.
And he was great in it, unfortunately the movie itself was way below great (and Mr. Lee was not allowed to use his voice, which is blasphemy).
jednou sem si četla o Danielsovi a dočetla sem se od jednoho uživatele strašný věci(jako co řek)tak mě to složilo a pár dní sem ho nemohla ani vidět(jako žádnou fotku, video, nic)
Good actors but movie is so so to me
Too much makeup on late Robert stephens's face
Great film.
