Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

rodrig58 The first movie I see with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. Very different in all respects from the other screenings. Many actors played Holmes, the most notable being Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Robert Downey, Jr., Basil Rathbone, Michael Caine, Roger Moore, Christopher Plummer, Ian Richardson, John Cleese, Peter O'Toole, Nicol Williamson, Stewart Granger, John Barrymore. Each with its unique personality. Jeremy Brett is very special. Very good Edward Hardwicke as Dr.Watson. Also very good Robert Hardy as the villain.

william rogers (sonarman65) After seeing Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, no actor should ever display such conceit as to imagine that he could ever come close to Mr. Brett's portrayal of "one of the most interesting characters in literature". Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes and in my opinion there can be no other. The great actor Basil Rathbone is,I must admit, a close second but, is still second. One might make the argument that Mr. Rathbone's screenplays were inferior to the absolutely top notch productions afforded Mr. Brett and to this I would agree. However when all is said and done Jeremy Brett will always and forever be the only actor to truly "become" Sherlock Holmes. The book should be closed on this subject and we,the public,left to enjoy Mr.Brett's unique performances.Bill Rogers (sonarman65@yahoo.com)

fletcher-13 I found the pace to be glacial and the original story blown way out of proportion to the content. My wife slept through most of it and I did not try to wake her because I felt she was not missing anything.When Holmes and Watson enter the house and then are potentially caught, it is unclear how they could hide all of their entry and burglary tools so quickly. It is also unclear how the door to the study is locked, preventing the servants from getting in.The thing that puzzled me was right at the end when there was a glint in the eye of the broken statute. I have no clue what this was supposed to represent.

smokehill retrievers I tend to look askance at departures from Doyle's sacred writings, but the additions in this film were well-chosen and done well. Those of us who have most of the Holmes canon mostly memorized tend to forget that for many viewers this may be their first exposure to Holmes, Watson and the foggy streets of Victorian London. A bit more atmosphere and additional plot may be a good introduction for newcomers to the Foggy Fables.The large body of work left by Brett and his associates is, I believe, the best and most faithful Holmes films so far.
