Long Lost Prop from The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes Found

The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes | Soundtrack Suite (Miklós Rózsa)

"The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes debuted in 1970 and starred Robert Stephens as Sherlock Holmes, Colin Blakely as Dr. Watson and Christopher Lee as Mycroft Holmes. Miklos Rosza composed the score (more on his work for the film can be found here) and Billy Wilder directed. Wilder wanted a significantly longer film, but studio executives made him cut it and the footage has been lost to the ages."

"...two episodes were cut and hacked about in an attempt to make one story out of two. The weakest story, about a submarine disguised as the Loch Ness Monster was left intact, but elsewhere all the best bits were eliminated. The truncated film as you see it today is a sorry travesty of the original and a great disappointment to all involved."

"Too bad that wasn't found along with Nessie."

Oh, and spoiler alert:
It wasn't really the Loch Ness monster. It was a mini-submarine cleverly disguised as the legendary creature, and navigated by dwarves.
