I think that's the mini-series with Michael Caine and Bodie off of 'The Professionals'. But it's not a Sherlock Holmes film, Caine just plays some copper.

In a promotional interview with Roger Ebert, James Mason explained that he had hoped to get either Laurence Olivier's or Gregory Peck's role, and was disappointed to be offered neither, but then was contacted about the subsidiary role of Seibert: "They'd found that when Dr. Mengele was in Paraguay, he had no one to talk to. So they fleshed out the other Nazi, and he fell into my lap. It was convenient, it was acceptable, I could even make sense of the character, and besides, it was four weeks work in Portugal, where I'd never been before."

A truly grim film - I hated it, despite having three fine actors in it. Perhaps it was because they played their parts so well. :rolleyes:

The Man Who Fell to Earth

David Bowie was a perfect fit for the part. Uneven and confused in a typical Nicholas Roeg sort of way.
