	Movies - A Study in Terror

A Study in Terror is a 1965 Sherlock Holmes film in which the detective goes on the trail of Jack the Ripper.

Holmes is played by John Neville and Dr. Watson by Donald Houston. The film also stars Anthony Quayle, Cecil Parker, Robert Morley (as Mycroft Holmes), and Judi Dench in one of her first film roles. It was directed by James Hill.

The film is interesting in that it parallels 1978's Murder by Decree
, and also prefigures the Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell comic series From Hell and its 2001 film incarnation.

Both A Study in Terror and Murder by Decree co-star character actor Frank Finlay as Holmes' Scotland Yard counterpoint Inspector Lestrade.
