Movie review - "A Study in Terror" (1965) ***

The sort of film that feels like Hammer but was actually Tigon and Herman Cohen - it has Sherlock Holmes investigating Jack the Ripper and is stylish and a lot of fun. Plenty of pseudo names like John Neville as Holmes and Donald Houston as Watson.

I love the photography, sets and feel. The script is occasionally a bit iffy but it is a decent story - Holmes and Watson work well. The cast includes a young Judi Dench as well as people like John Fraser, Tony Quayle, Peter Carsten.
