Sherlock Holmes - A Study in Terror (1965)

If there ever was a perfect Mycroft Holmes, it was Robert Morley, who resembled the Sidney Paget illustrations a lot. So this is for him.
Well, this clip is not an adaptation from the pages of A. C. Doyle, but the first movie having Holmes solving the case of real-life Jack the Ripper. John Neville, a very good actor, is too much of a clean, fancyful Dandy character to be my taste as Holmes, although he does fine. Donald Houston is a bore as Watson, but the movie also had a perfectly rat-faced Lestrade in Frank Finlay (who played the part again in the Seventies).
The Prime Minister is Cecil Parker, Dudley Foster played the Home Secretary.
