“A true evocation of the spirit of the Strand Magazine, [The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes] is the best Holmes movie ever made and sorely underrated in the Wilder canon.”
– Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
“[The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes] is a wonderful, cruelly underrated film. With a stunning score by Miklós Rozsa, carefully modulated performances, lush location photography, and perfect sets by Trauner, it is Wilder’s least embittered film and by far his most moving.” – Time Out
