Review of Murder by Decree (1979) by Curtis H — 31 Jan 2012
A stodgy uninteresting mystery starring Christopher Plummer and James Mason as the unforgettable legends Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson who match wits with the infamous Jack the Ripper. While Mason performs the role of Watson admirably, Plummer's Sherlock Holmes is conservative and altogether too proper for his eccentric role.
The story while well told is simply not very compelling, and the whole thing overstays its welcome.
