Christopher Lee: Works
built 183 days ago
In 1970, Christopher Lee took part in what was, at that time, the most ambitious and expensive Sherlock Holmes film yet. Easy to see why it was a turning point in Mr. Lee’s career as it was the biggest “A” film at that point in his career. It ... proved to be Mr. Lee’s chance to work with one of the most brilliant film directors of all time, the inimitable Billy Wilder.

In a bonding of two generations of Frankenstein's monsters, Lee and his wife were good friends with Boris Karloff and his wife. This friendship wasn't as a result of them working together (they made two films together, Corridors of Blood (1958) and Curse of the Crimson Altar (1968)) but by the coincidence that they lived next door to each other in England.

Lee, who will turn 85 in May, shows no signs of slowing down. He appeared in “The Golden Compass” (2007) and has already completed work on “The Heavy” and “Boogie Woogie,” two films scheduled to be released this year.

Lee provided the off-camera voice of "U.N. Owen," the mysterious host who brings disparate characters together in Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians (1965). The film was produced by Harry Alan Towers, for whom Lee had worked repeatedly in the 1960s. Even though he is not credited on the film, the voice is unmistakable.
