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.
