This week, we discuss two films connected to Sherlock Holmes.

The first is Zero Effect (1998), a mystery comedy film written and directed by Jake Kasdan in his feature directional debut. Starring Bill Pullman as "the world's most private detective", Daryl Zero, and Ben Stiller as his assistant Steve Arlo, the film's plot is loosely based on the Arthur Conan Doyle short story "A Scandal in Bohemia".

The second is The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970), written and produced by Billy Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond, and directed by Wilder. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the creators and writers of the BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning series Sherlock, credited the film as a source of inspiration for their show.
