Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking
Helen McCrory as an American Psychologist
by Brian Lowry | Variety | October 20, 2005
Revisionist tinkering with the Sherlock Holmes mythology has provided great sport over the years, from Billy Wilder’s “The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes” to “The Seven-Percent Solution.” Somewhere in between falls this original story concocted for “Masterpiece Theater” — a second-rate Holmes mystery starring Rupert Everett that’s still good fun, though surely not as much as viewing one of those old Basil Rathbone editions.

When preparing for her role as Messiah’s new Chief Pathologist, Rachel Price, Helen McCrory drew a line at attending a real autopsy despite being offered the opportunity.
“I walked into make-up one day for tests and opened a pathology book, literally took one look and shut it straight away. I just couldn’t bear to look at it any more.
