Steel Dawn (KCOP, Wednesday at 8 p.m.) is an atrocious 1987 “Road Warrior” rip-off starring Patrick Swayze.
The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (KCOP, Saturday at 8 p.m.) is a tragicomic meditation on the Baker Street duo in which Billy Wilder shrewdly fills in the spots Sir Arthur Conan Doyle left blank: Holmes’ failures, his sex life and the motives for his cocaine habit. Robert Stephens is Holmes, Colin Blakely is Watson; the movie is one of Wilder’s least cynical and most romantic.
