Thanks for that review. I'm looking forward to watching it. Being that it is on MGM HD it is pretty much a lock that it will be shown in some type of widescreen format, if it was originally released as such.
You're welcome. I would add that the film was produced by Sir Nigel Films - a company set up (I think) by the Conan Doyle estate - and distributed by United Artists. There appears to have been production money from various European sources, certainly Italy, and many of the supporting cast are dubbed. The director is Polish exile Jerzy Skolimowski, though this film is by no means typical of his output.
