The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes Mycroft Holmes after George Sanders' failing health removed him from the role. Elaborate sets were built on the backlot at Pinewood Studios including 150 yards of the Baker Street set at a cost of £80,000. The reproduction of the Diogenes Club stood until 1973 having been used in other films such as "Hands of the Ripper" and "Carry On at Your Convenience". The sets were designed by art director Alexandre Trauner. The scenes in Scotland were filmed on location at Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness. The film originally contained another two separate stories, and a further flashback
Sherlock Holmes housekeeper Mrs. Hudson is the protagonist. Mycroft Holmes has been the subject of several efforts: "Enter the Lion" by Michael P. Hodel and Sean M. Wright (1979), a four-book series by Quinn Fawcett, and 2015's "Mycroft", by former NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. John Gardner, Michael Kurland, and Kim Newman, amongst many others, have all written tales in which Holmes's nemesis Professor Moriarty is the main character. Anthologies edited by Michael Kurland and George Mann are entirely devoted to stories told from the perspective of characters other than Holmes and Watson. Laurie R. King recreated Holmes in her Mary Russell series
