    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      When Sir Christopher Lee and Leon Askin were filming the scenes down the sewer seen near the end of the movie, they found the smell to be "a bit stiff, even for a sewer". After some inquiries, they found out the place had been used during World War II to make poison gas.
    • Goofs
      When Holmes speaks with his pipe between his teeth, the pipe does not click, due to post-dubbed dialogue.
    • Quotes
      • Prof. Moriarty: We are both men of logic and we possess extraordinary intellect. But we are both wasting our forces warring against each other and if I may say so, dear Holmes, this is illogical. We should unite our talents and forces. Such a partnership would be sure to succeed.
      • Sherlock Holmes: No doubt it would. Professor.
      • Prof. Moriarty: Then I may assume you accept?
      • Sherlock Holmes: The picture you paint is a very alluring one. There's only one answer that I can give. Much as I regret it, I shall have to continue to waste my energies. I have only one ambition at present: to see you hanged.
