Murder by Decree has the fictional Sherlock Holmes solving the real Jack the Ripper serial murder case (which was never solved). Just two years before this film, Christopher Plummer played Holmes on an ITV series called Sunday Night Drama. Perhaps someone then suggested that they develop a theatrical film for Plummer. It was nice to see Plummer and James Mason teaming together, but the plot seemed a little shaky. While I hate most sequels, a sequel is an indication of success of the first film. Perhaps no sequel here means this film was not the success they were hoping for.
