I think that some of the reviewers got it wrong when they said this is the worst Sherlock movie. Holmes's & Watson with Will Farrell was definitely worse, yes it was a 'comedy' but it wasn't in way. Patrick Macnee as Watson would have been OK if he didn't use a mad gravelly voice, he should of spoken like Steed in the Avengers. John Huston was terrible and just didn't work really you should be able to identify Moriarty as an evil villain not an old man who can't find his false teeth. Roger Moore is a bit different as his Sherlock displays a bit more humanity but he towers above the other performers. Charlotte Rampling was more than adequate and of course she was absolutely gorgeous.
On the whole the film stands up, not aa a classic but 48 years old TV movie that I enjoyed.
