John Neville reprised his role as Sherlock Holmes on Broadway in the 1970’s. Anthony Quayle appears in both films as well.
Frank Finlay also plays Inspector Lestrade in: Murder By Decree (1979). Trivia: The close of the film, set a Baker Street eludes to The Adventure Of The Blue Carbuncle by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The novel it is loosely adapted from has the Holmes story framed by armchair detective / writer Ellery Queen reading the manuscript by Dr. Slick loose adaption of the Ellery Queen classic novel features an interesting take on The Ripper story. Watson join the hunt for the notorious serial killer, Jack The Ripper.
