1975WRCLIT60171Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox Television 1975. 1112 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Bradbound in printed studio wrappers. Light foxing to fore-edge faint dust-soiling to wrappers but very good. An unspecified but pre-production draft of this original television Sherlock Holmes pastiche. The October 1976 release starred Roger Moore as Holmes John Huston as Moriarty Patrick Macnee as Watson and Charlotte Rampling as Irene Adler under the direction of Boris Sagal. While a novelization was published as a paperback original in 1976 the original teleplay was not published at the time. It was nominated for an Edgar Allen Poe Award and if only by virtue of the stand-out cast this addition to the Holmes adaptation canon deserves scrutiny.
