A Study in Terror is a 1965 British thriller directed by James Hill.
It stars John Neville as Sherlock Holmes and Donald Houston as Dr. Watson. The supporting cast includes Frank Finlay as Inspector Lestrade, Robert Morley as Mycroft Holmes, John Fraser, Anthony Quayle, Judi Dench, Adrienne Corri, Cecil Parker and Barbara Windsor. It was filmed at Shepperton Studios, London, with some location work at Osterley House in Middlesex.
Although it is based on Conan Doyle's characters, the story is an original one, which has the famous detective on the trail of Jack the Ripper.
In 1966, the film was novelized by Ellery Queen and Paul W. Fairman.
The Holmes-Ripper idea was later taken up in Murder by Decree (1978), in which Frank Finlay reprised his role as Lestrade.
