''Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace'' (German: '''''Sherlock Holmes und das Halsband des Todes''''') is a 1962 Black-and-white Film directed by Terence Fisher and Frank Winterstein. It was a German - French - Italian co-production. It starred Christopher Lee as Sherlock Holmes and Thorley Walters as Dr. Watson . One-time Universal screenwriter Curt Siodmak ('' The Wolf Man '') wrote the screenplay, based on the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle . The film is a loose adaptation of Doyle's final Holmes novel, '' The Valley Of Fear ''.

Lee donned a false nose to play the famous detective for the first time (he later reprised the role on TV). He and the rest of the cast were dubbed: Although it was filmed in English, the audio-track was recorded post-production by different actors, mainly American.

The film has a Jazz Score by Martin Slavin .
