Yeah, I don't share the hater consensus. It's basically 100% dialogue driven which some people don't care for. Obviously too, the vast majority of people have only ever seen the edited version which completely neuters the only scene with graphic action.

Private Life of Sherlock Holmes has "with none of the subversiveness promised by the title"? Wut? Methinks someone skipped this one! Portraying Sherlock as a gay man would be considered subversive today let alone in 1970… If you writers are going to make money taking potshots at pop culture…YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY WATCH…
