THE FIRST AUTHORIZED U.S. DISC RELEASE OF LEE S ONLY MOVIE PERFORMANCE AS HOLMES

Shortly after their hit collaboration on THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES, Christopher Lee and director Terence Fisher (HORROR OF DRACULA) returned to Holmesiana for Lee s sole feature film portrayal of the world s greatest detective. Shot in Berlin with Hammer regular Thorley Walters as Dr. Watson, Lee considered it to be one of the best things I ve ever done because I tried to play Holmes really as he was written – as a very intolerant, argumentative, difficult man. Senta Berger (WHEN WOMEN HAD TAILS) and Ivan Desney (THE MARRIAGE OF MARIA BRAUN) co-star in this 1962 West German-French-Italian co-production produced by Artur Brauner (VAMPYROS LESBOS) from a screenplay by Curt Siodmak (THE WOLF MAN) and based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle s Valley Of Fear, now scanned in 2K from the German negative.
