Lip unsynch - Sherlock Holmes: Deadly Necklace review by JD
It was the same in the good the bad and the ugly, the sound of the voice was not synchronised with the facial movement. Surely it would be a simple thing to fix. It is less than a second out throughout the film. Many great actors have played Sherlock. Does it invite comparison? I think so. Christopher Lee has a certain charisma but lacks mystery. For a 1962 film the filming is (apart from the synch) pretty good and acting fine. Moriarty is a bit theatrical. The plot is compelling and overall worth a watch.
