DVD Reviews of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes - 10 Movies
DVD Review: Don't purchase this one!
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't buy this one, especially if you are a Basil fan as I am. Only one of the disks contains Rathbone and Bruce, and these episodes are very poor quality. I am a Holmes fan and have several duplicate DVD from other sources. I have examined the video quality of this set against other sets I have and these were substantially much poorer quality. I placed this DVD box set in my "give away" pile!DVD Review: The original Sherlock at his best
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a collection of the best Sherlock Holmes movies from the TV series. It prompted us to return to Amazon.com for the whole series!DVD Review: Misleading
Summary: 1 Stars
I honestly thought that Basil Rathbone would play the lead character and was disappointed to find out that he is only in a couple of the 10 movies. The pre-Basil Rathbone stories were true to Arthur Conan Doyle, but the quality of the film used was inferior.DVD Review: Sherlock Holmes
Summary: 4 Stars
Thoroughly enjoyed classic Black and white editions of Sherlock Holmes.
Somehow that increased the level of suspense. Excellent acting by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. Intriguing plot lines and very innocent dialog, especially refreshing from today's vulgar use of expletives.
Great bargain, great entertainment for a rainy afternoon..thank you
DVD Review: Tricky marketing -- this is for rabid Holmes fans only!
Summary: 3 Stars
As has been mentioned, only three of these films star Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, so beware the impression that you get from the cover! The three Rathbone films that you DO get are the ones which have fallen into public domain and anyone may copy them.
I own all these films/episodes on various discs and if you're a HUGE Holmes fan, then this is probably an okay deal; however, the local Family Dollar stores and Big Lots offer most of these films on DVD at an even better price and in far superior assemblages. For example, I got the entire Ron Howard series on multiple discs in a single package at Big Lots for $6 bucks.
Also, all the Basil Rathbone films featured here are widely available for $1 per copy, each. Save-a-Lot stores offer all three in flat cardboard packaging.
Buyers should also beware that these are not the best prints available of the Rathbone films. For top clarity, get the UCLA film lab ones which were generated from pretty pristine 35mm prints of the original films. They are VERY good quality.
Finally, when you're out in search of these films, watch out that you don't buy "colorized" Rathbone films -- the pastel coloration is garish and renders these treasures into something quite fuzzy-looking and otherwise inferior.
