I was listening to the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes Podcast (some episodes that I had missed) and was surprised when it was mentioned that Jeremy Brett and Robert Stephens were best friends! And that there were many anecdotes about and with Jeremy in Robert Stephen's biography.

Here are two that were mentioned and isn't Jeremy just lovely?

"Jeremy snuggled up to me and to Tarn. And we became inseparable best friends. He was terribly good-looking and always suffered for it. At school he was known as 'the tart of Eton' because he sang like Elizabeth Schwarzkopf, but was giving out all the wrong signals to unsuitable men who kept trying to pick him up. And I was the gentleman's relish who sat between him and the rather heavy old queers in the company. I winkled him out and we bonded. As platonic friends, never sexual partners."

"In June 1955, Jeremy went off to make the King Vidor film War and Peace in Rome with Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda. I remember a letter of farewell from the book and gave it to him to read on the plane. He told me just how touched he was and very kindly said to Tarn and I that if we could find our fares in the next three week break, he would pay all our expenses. So we went to Rome, a city which I have adored unreservedly from that day to this, and we were billeted in a flat with Robert Graves' daughter, Diana. Jeremy, bless his heart, gave us pocket money from his own salary."

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes,1970.

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes was released in cinemas in 1970,Sir Robert Stephens played Holmes,Colin Blakely was Dr Watson and Sir Christopher Lee was the sleuth's brother,Mycroft Holmes.In the story,Sherlock and Watson investigating the disappearance of an engineer,and the case takes them to Loch Ness and an encounter with a monster(it's not actually a real creature).The first model of the Loch Ness Monster built for the film was 30 feet tall and originally had two humps,but the director requested that these be removed,which caused it to sink while being towed by a boat.

It's interesting that this Loch Ness Monster prop also spawned a brief mystery in real life just as it did in the movie.In 2016, people claimed to have spotted the Loch Ness Monster near a specific area of ​​Loch Ness. An underwater robot was then sent to search the area and actually found the "Monster",but further analysis showed that it was the lost prop.Although the film references the reality legend of the Loch Ness Monster,that prop may be the only "monster" that actually lived in the lake.
