Summary: 5 Stars
Starring the Sherlock Holmes of this generation, it is well worth the money. Get the complete series.DVD Review: Long time fan
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I prefer Edward Harwicke as Watson, these stories with David Burke as Watson are some of the best episodes available in my opinion. All Sherlock Holmes tales with Jeremy Brett are top notch performances. You won't be disappointed.DVD Review: Excellent Set
Summary: 5 Stars
My PBS station was airing these shows weekly, and I enjoyed them very much. My main reason for purchasing the DVD set is so I can watch them whenever I want, and not have to rely on TV. It is a good thing, because this month all my PBS stations are on Membership drive, and their new upcoming season will feature no Sherlock Holmes. I love the Closed Captioning on the DVDs, also because I am hard of hearing. I plan on getting the whole line of SH. Jeremy Brett IS the best Sherlock Holmes, ever!! Love him!!! DVD Review: Great portrayal of Sherlock Holmes Mysteries
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best portrayal of Sir Author Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes I have ever seen. The dialogue and everything are so true to the stories! Even the pictures at the end of every episode reflect those in the book. Great collection for lovers of mysteries. Well done!
Description of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Boxed Set Collection)
Studio: Mpi Home Video Release Date: 05/28/2002 Run time: 500 minutes Rating: NrJeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is perhaps the best filmed version of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective, showcasing Holmes's dazzling brilliance without ignoring his unnerving intensity or drug dependencies. First aired on Britain's Granada Television in 1984, the series offered perfect casting (David Burke, replaced later in the run by Edward Hardwicke, played Dr. Watson as Holmes's sturdy companion and chronicler rather than as a buffoon), marvelous period music by Patrick Gowers, and a running time of almost an hour per story, which allowed superior detail and faithfulness to the original source.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes marked the beginning of the long-running series. Highlights of these 13 episodes include "A Scandal in Bohemia," which introduces Irene Adler (Gayle Hunnicutt), whom Holmes uncharacteristically describes as having "a face a man might die for"; the chilling locked-room mystery "The Speckled Band"; the introduction of Sherlock's brother Mycroft (Charles Gray) in "The Greek Interpreter"; and "The Final Problem," in which Holmes confronts his arch-enemy Professor Moriarty (Eric Porter) at Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. The five-disc boxed set is a great bargain compared to previous VHS releases, although bonus features are limited to English subtitles and galleries of Sidney Paget's famous illustrations. The series would continue on Granada with The Return of Sherlock Holmes, The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes as well as the stand-alone treatments of The Sign of Four and The Hound of the Baskervilles. --David Horiuchi
