Well, the very first paragraph mentions "sleazy erotic adventures", so I definitely read it!

You're welcome. Blimey! That post's over two and half years old! I'd forgotten I wrote it!
Now I want to watch the movie again...
Call me Ishmael...
- I was rather pleased when people pointed out the mention:
Looking for a magazine to while away the two-hour train journey, I glimpse, incredibly, exactly the image which arrested my attention in Cornwall more than 20 years ago: the familiar outline of Holmes's deerstalker framing the image of a half-naked woman. But what magazine would conceivably want to put this picture on its cover?
A doomed magazine, certainly. Its name is Movie Collector, and it is fated only to last for a handful of issues. It caters to a small audience of fanatics, fetishists, obsessives: people like myself, in short. It carries letters and articles about deleted footage, missing scenes, tiny shards of forgotten movies which have vanished into some kind of cinematic purgatory.
Doomed indeed, but fun while it lasted.
"This time it's no more Mr. Passive Resistance!"

How many issues were there? And are there any extant copies sloshing around?
It ran to ten issues and one supplement. Some back issues are still available via [email protected]. There has been talk off and on about a US edition, but banks have a traditional hatred of publishing and venture capitalists only seem interested in the internet.

Thanks! I'll investigate.

Im just watching The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes today. I have it on dvd so i decided to look it up on imdb. I have always enjoyed this film as its funny and about Sherlock Holmes. Its good to see how different it is from the Basil Rathbone films. And i agree having seen the short interview with Christopher Lee and thinking about the whole episode of what the film would be like with the complete film its better left alone. Billy Wilder as Christopher Lee said was possibly one of the best directors ever and i believe in the film he made entirely.
