SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE DEADLY NECKLACE 1962 (SEVERIN) BLU-RAY

This was the only time Christopher Lee played the famous detective.

Holmes and Watson (Thorley Walters) are called on to investigate a very strange case.

They learn that the old enemy Prof. Moriarty (Hans Sohnker) is planning to steal a valuable necklace that was found in the burial tomb of Cleopatra, and they race to stop him.

The movie was directed by the always great Terence Fisher, and it shows his usual flair for making great films. Lee is fine as Holmes and he and Walters' Watson make a very good team.

The print is in German with English subtitles and it looks spectacular. Severin has done an excellent job with a film that I never expected to see in a beautiful rematered way.

This movie should please every Holmes fan and it is highly recommended for them as well as any mystery fan. The rest of the cast includes Senta Berger, Leon Askin, Hans Nielsen and Linda Sini.

The Eurocrypt Of Christopher Lee set is easily one of the best of the year.
