The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970) - Billy Wilder 

Well my hopes for late era Wilder were remarkably improved after watching Avanti!, but I can't say I had the same reaction to this film. The pacing seemed to be a little off and just too uncharacteristic. Now maybe I just don't care for Sherlock Holmes in general, but I would consider this something of a misfire. Of course it's gotten some legendary status due to the mutilation the film took upon a disastrous first screening, but I'm not sure if it would have been any better.
