| CinePassionFernando F. CroceA fond homage to the heyday of Hammer Studio, and a canny transmuting of Victorian Britannia to the tail end of the politicized '70s |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzOne of the more imaginative Sherlock Holmes films. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatMurder by Decree is spiffy entertainment for lovers of good mystery stories. |
| User ReviewKevinYou just THINK they don't know who The Ripper was... |
| User ReviewMichael SChristopher Plummer and James Mason as Holmes and Watson are unmatched. There's genuine chemistry here, and they understand each other in touching ways. The film is beautiful, well done all around, and has high-powered stars stuffed into the cast, including Anthony Quayle, Donald Sutherland and Frank Finlay. Claustrophobic settings in the London fog add to the sinister ambience, and there's still room for dry, wonderful British humor. A great film. |
| User ReviewTed BAn intelligent well-plotted suspense thriller beautifully directed by the late Bob Clark, in which Sherlock Holmes brilliantly played by Christopher Plummer and his associate Dr. Watson, the late great veteran actor James Mason in a deliciously sly performance investigates the gruesome murders of Jack the Ripper in London circa 1888 and discovers a mass conspiracy to protect the killer. Notable supporting performances from David Hemmings, Susan Clark, Anthony Quayle, John Gielgud, Frank Finlay, Donald Sutherland and Genevieve Bujold in standout performance as Annie Crook. The period recreation is flawless. One of the best and most original Sherlock Holmes films ever made. Highly Recommended. |
| User ReviewDebbie WThe idea behind this film is Sherlock Holmes, played brilliantly by Christopher Plummer, and Doctor Watson played by the amazing oh so sad he died, James Mason, solving the Jack the Ripper murders. It's dark and creepy and totally believable. One of the truly great Sherlock Holmes films. |
| User ReviewPaul BWonderfully done Sherlock Holmes against jack the ripper...Plummer leading the way as Holmes was perfect. Although it did play on the royal conspiracy..one can see where "From Hell" got most of it's cues from. |
| User ReviewMichael TBob Clark's last film before he directed PORKY'S (1982) was also his best. Sherlock Holmes versus Saucy Jack! |
| User ReviewRuss SThis is the best Sherlocke Holmes flick of all. |
