Sherlock Holmes (TV-1954) THE SHY BALLERINA (S1E6)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters. This acclaimed series stars Ronald Howard as the world-famous sleuth and H. Marion Crawford in a different portrayal of Dr. Watson than usual.
THE CASE OF THE SHY BALLERINA: Dr. Watson investigates the murder of Harry Chelton after the two get their hats and coats mixed up at the club. Mrs. Chelton advises Holmes that her husband, a composer, was being blackmailed by a Russian ballerina who's performing in London. Stars Nathalie Schafer (aka Mrs. Lovey Howell from Gilligan's Island)
as a lover of all things Sherlock Holmes this is a great series, that was Natalie Schafer (Lovey "Gilligan's Island), thanks for the upload
rd - Yet she reminds me almost exactly of Carol Channing.
Yes - That is Lovely from Gilligan's Island!
i know Im kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Karson Colt Try Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
@Kyler Morgan yea, been using flixzone for months myself :D
I have watched several adaptations of Sherlock Holmes, and I have only really loved Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. I was not prepared to love Ronald Howard as Holmes, and H. Marion Crawford as Dr. Watson in this adaptation, but I have now watched a dozen of these lovely little tidbits one after the other this evening, and I have to say I love them, too. Thank you so much for finding these.
Oh, and the guy who played Sergei is a hoot!
I'm with you! It took me a minute to warm up to these, but it's a very light-hearted and charming version
the same here I started watching them more. A blogger mentioned that Ron Howard was the son of Leslie Howard. I didn't know that. When I checked into more of his bio, I found Leslie Howard had died during the war. I liked him, so sad, I remember him most playing in Gone With The Wind
What about Jeremy Brett?
@@janetfranklin2223 Leslie Howard went down on what may have been an intelligence flight in WWII. I loved him in Pimpernel Smith. It is still on UA-cam. Indiana Jones has more than a slight resemblance to this earlier classic.
@@Perktube1 Yes! Have to put a word in for my boy Jeremy!!
The humor and interaction written into these characters is tip top.
"The strong-minded woman with the weak handwriting, and the weak-minded woman with the strong handwriting! The inconsistency of the female, Watson!" Holmes, I'm pretty sure that just means your handwriting analysis is bull. XD
Surely you jest.
3:44, "I don't like wearing somebody else's hat, it's like using somebody's else's toothbrush!" Hahahahahaha!!!
Crawford had a terrific light touch of humor. The whole series had a lovely balance of humor and suspense--not an easy thing to put across consistently.
@Lien Min Gou I agree!!
@@elizabethschaeffer9543 Yes ! Compared with the movie Baskervilles the scene of Holmes DISGUISED ON THE MOOR approaching Watson among the stone Ruins had a humor and pleasantry that seems to prevail in this series. I feel I am at home when I am interacting with intelligence.
I had always liked Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, but I like these two also. I am enjoying the series. Thank you.
WELL SAID SIR !!!!!!!!
At 3:48 Holmes tells Watson, as they discuss the mix-up over Watson's hat: "Well, don't worry about it, *_Holmes._* The cloakroom attendant at the club..." But, dash it, chaps! He _is_ Holmes, surely! It seems that, for a moment, Ronald Howard forgot which character he was playing.
OMGosh! As often as I've watched this & noticed other "issues" I never noticed that "blooper"! 😂
Nice catch !
It doesn't say "Holmes" in the CC. Intentional? 🧐
These episodes may be cheaply done but I have no problem with Howard and Crawford. I like them.
The actors make it. Production budgets don't much matter when the actors have talent!
Sort of part of its charm.
@@j81851The UK was still recovering from WWII when these were filmed.
Did you recognize “Lovey” from Gilligan’s Island?
No.
I have thoroughly been enjoying these shorter pieces of Holmes. Thank you for sharing them.
This was a good episode of "Sherlock Holmes" with Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford. This is a very entertaining series from 1954.
While it was an "entertaining series," the acting was absolutely horrible. Way over the top, even with Watson. If played a bit more seriously, the series would have been even more entertaining.
Actually, to me, I give highest honors to acting, writing, etc. One of a kind to all in the series. Remember, ?% for comedy; ?% for mystery, etc.
@@dwightstewart7181 money had to be made, time had to stretch out to do that
@@dennisday2049 Yes. the thought put into every possible ....???... View ;)
I love this series. He is not a jerk at all and he and Watson are more equals.
"I must devote more time to that". Yes Holmes! I'm watching these in order - absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for the upload & good quality of the prints too.

screen, radio and TV adaptations.
Again?
@@MrLyndarenaud Michael caine Linda
OMG! Thank you Kelley. I much appreciate your post. I was just saying to myself I had no idea there were so many Sherlock Holmes episodes much less what actors have played the role. I've only seen Jeremy Bret, Basil Rathbone; someone named Howard; and one I can't remember (The man who disappeared). I do know Benedict Cumberbatch but I only watched one episode. I love the shorter, black and white episodes. Then, lo and behold I see your post answering my question. Thank you again. Keep safe and stay healthy.
Thanks!!
An impressive bit of research - thank you! Brett to me is the quintessential Holmes, but also liked Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. Basil Rathbone is no slouch, either.
Sergei played the "blind man" in Blind Man's Bluff.
Since "Mrs. Howell" was in this one, it would've been great if say, Alan Hale, Jr. (Skipper) was in this episode too. He did a pretty good job of playing a British police officer in one of Gilligan's dream sequences. 😃
These are great episodes. So glad I came across them.
Also Harry Crocker, the escape artist. 🫥
As a violinist, Holmes's hold of the violin nearly made me spit my coffee. I nearly died. Why was it held so vertically by his ear when it needs to be flat. And not to mention the bowing. At least they hid it with the sheet music.
🚨
I love artist. 😅. I mean to catch that is SO funny. I understand.
I had forgotten how captivating this series was. I find my self completely enthralled again! Thanks
Does Thurston Howell III know that Lovie is a murderer?
B A I had to go back,that is Lovie
ba - A murderess.
Pizzaflix ought to delete your post and those of any other clueless fucks whose comment reveals the solution to a mystery.
haha
She looks so cute here....
The escapologist Croker certainly has many talents!
PizzaFlix thank you ever so much for the uploads
It's Lovey Howell! She was quite attractive.
The playful misogyny in old movies like this is absolutely refreshingly fun. There was a time when we could all laugh at ourselves and take a joke. Woke culture has ruined everything.
👏🏻👏🏾🥂🍻👍🏼👍
These are a bit to flippant, childish if you like especially the cowgirl one compared to the Jeremy Brett series , probably the best of all the Sherlock Holmes series.
But these are so much more uplifting surely.
@@iskrahol ..They are what they are and yes I have actually enjoyed watching them.
I do think Jeremy Brett absolutely captures Holmes' supercilious hauteur.
@@terencephillips6833Brett=🤮
Wow ! I have never seen Mrs Howell in any thing before
I have seen her in several movies, but she was always a character actress, rather than having a staring role.
Eugene Deckers should be listed as a series co-star. lol
Now I know where the late Jeremy Brett got his inspiration for his role as Sherlock Holmes: from Eugene Deckers, the guy who played the role of the Russian composer Serge Smernoff. Those exaggerated movements, sudden shifts and swaying of hands. What do you think, guys?

Jack: Not, Jeremy got it from the writings of Sir Doyle. I got this from an interview of Jeremy
Hahaha this is such a great comment 😂
ha
Brett=🤮
Holmes addresses the Russian dancer as Mademoiselle. I thought that was weird (and not like Holmes) till I found out the actress who played her is French. She was also in 'The Case Of The Eiffel Tower'. She's a nice singer, too, at about 16.00. ua-cam.com/video/iWQh0lbweKo/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for posting these episodes, i am thoroughly enjoying them! Even though they may not be 100% true to the books, they are still very entertaining.
An elephant? Sweet. People mostly use their pooches their pooches. Love these series - of with Britt outstanding.
@@phylis3917Umm... Read your comment. Wanna make changes? 😘
Holmes and Watson as comedy team!
These really are fun - awful over-acting, stock caricatures, stilted scripts, cast members turning up as different characters in different episodes and dreadful jokes. Brilliant!
thomas miles The acting is appalling but I love it
thomas miles I’ve just had a thought that the acting was directed on purpose to be over the top.
Most of these actors were from the stage. Television was still relatively new. They were still projecting as if they were on stage.
During the opening creds, you'll notice a white spot in the cobblestone street. That's a "cue marker" to show the pair where to begin their crossing.
It is so hard to tolerate This Dr. Watson personna. Why would they want him to act like a drop out spoiled clueless loser, when he is supposed to be a graduate from college, in a war, wounded and in the thrall of many murders with Sherlock? bah
shirley savitts And a Doctor.
I AGREE wholeheartedly And this episode isn't even the worst. It's terrible that they made him do that.
shirley savitts......just as Lee Takamiya stated! How did you forget to mention the most important?! A Medical Doctor and not just ''supposed to be''...He is!
Anyone could have been in a war, in those days...wounded..most likely . ''In the thrall''? your reasons are less than...
You might be thinking of the other Watson.....who is such a ''clueless'' buffoon. But, this Watson is not a loser or ''spoiled''...hmm...how did you come up with that one? What makes him appear spoiled to you?
I can't stand this Dr. Watson.
Agreed. I always thought Nigel Bruce was too much the bumbler as Watson, as well.
Natalie Schaffer. Ms. Howell you were a bad girl. She was a beauty. Never changed one bit.
Thank you for this Awesome Great Sherlock Holmes movie.🙂
Leslie Howard's son?
Yes
I guess Mr. Howell was her second husband.🤔
Has anyone noticed that "The Spider's Web" is a messed-up version of the opening chords of Chopin's "Prelude in C minor, Opus 28, Number 20?"
No
O yes haha😅
Some people have been asking, "why do the characters in Chernobyl have English accents?" It's because when you get British actors to try Russian accents, you get this.
I still love it, though 🤭
Yes. And filmed in France for American T.V. Quite the international series. 🌐
Recognized Mrs Howell immediately so young with same aristocratic manner love her!
this watson is quite a looker...
Sergey was in the episode with the escepologist Croker 😊😊😊
I can't remember his name , but I do know he was Belgian, and he appeared in this show seven different times.
:) Thanks for the upload PizzaFlix.
Love these blokes at their craft.
18:48 Watson taking a jab at Sherlock, his face 😁 19:00
Natalie Schafer (Lovey "Gilligan's Island)
😒🙄😮💨
What a hoot that Russian guy is.
Oil lamps, fireplaces, using fire, theses something I love about that, my grandfather in the 1960's used oil lamps and fireplaces for heating, we'd go there often and I'd go to the wood pile and get chopped firewood and sit in front of the fireplace, new logs would snap and pop when the started burning, the sound, the smell, it was cozy.
The actress who plays the Russian ballerina was the actress who played the showgirl in the case of the Eiffel Tower, she picked up the coin that Sherlock Holmes had thrown from the tower. Perhaps, the female actress pool was limited.
this my be a stupid question but is that women play on Gilligan island? the ritch couple?
You just won a free Pizza! Great catch! It is indeed Nathalie Schafer aka Mrs. Lovey Howell from Gilligan's Island.
Oops. I thought it was Carol Channing, in the thumb nail. 🤷♀️
Like these better than rathbone. Not as stuffy. Bit of humor is good
Good to see Lovey again.
The overacting of the Smirnoff character is spectacular.
That's one big gal to be a " Ballerina "........I don't think Lestrade could even pick her up.
Lovey from Gilligan's Island. She was an attractive lady 👩 in her time.
Certainly not the most faithfully filmed adaptation! Where is Mrs. Hudson, the Hansoms, Broughams and Dog Carts? The lovely English countryside and all those lovely English Roses that walk on two long and slim legs??? No Sir, the most faithful adaptation is easily Granada TV's adaptation, with Jeremy Brett as Holmes and David Burke/ Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson! Why, even the dialogues of the Granada TV Series are very, very close!!
Adapting the short stories into the under-30 Minutes format means no frills - the 1 Hour format of Granada TV was just about right for each of the Short Stories!
The plots in this series are weak too, with only The Engineer's Shoes being very close to the original, The Engineer's Thumb! Overall though, they are quite enjoyable to watch, but faithful reproduction they are certainly not!!
agreed that in the short time frame, they can't develop the mystery of the cases in much depth. BUT I think this version is more about the little comedic quips and jolly dynamics between Holmes, Watson, Lestrade etc... it's just "cute and fun" :)
@@T333TN Give me the wholesome, original stories! Any day!!
Not to mention Moriarty or Mycroft or cocaine...but I sort of like the 50 ish light hearted sitcom feel just as a simple indulgence.
I was wondering what was going to happen in 26 minutes; then I also lost interest by the comedic acting. It's not what I had expected. But it's short so I watched the entire thing.
i understand your feeling, but i have to say that i have heard that so many times in watching every holmes series, the comment about jeremy brett... or other actors who played holmes, it seems an endless need to draw comparisons.. i like brett, rathbone, and howard, i like them all
Why do they always show Russians as idiots… They are not so stupidly emotional…
Mrs Howell sure got around. I wonder if
Thurston knew.
if you want to compare howard to all the other holmes actors, especially jeremy brett or basil rathbone,
it's definitely been commented on before, like a million times, on every episode of every show ... a simple "ditto" will suffice at this point !
👍👍👍💕 thank you‼️
I've not seen these before, they look interesting. It's good to see an American version that is using the correct pronunciation of Lastrade for once.
They are very popular, and we have the complete series.
Thanks for your reply. I have watched a couple more. I'm starting to really enjoy them now.
@@Trev359I don't know if you knew that this series was filmed in France. 🫤
Those Russian accents are cringe worthy.
Lestraid has to be the worst detective ever. He couldn't find his rear end with a bloodhound.
He couldn't pour pee out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel! 👢
UA-cam should not run political ads.
Love this!
Lovey Howell playing in this is excellent.
really nice
Note to self, watched 1/5/18.
lol, I should start doing that. I'm 7/16/20 during the seemingly never ending pandemic.
@@agathapoirot5373 1/15/23
Nathalie Schafer (Elaine Chelton) looks for the world like Carol Channing.
I love this series more than the others ,, thanks for sharing ,,
Thank you! I have so enjoyed this series!😊
The Victorian style sets are quite extravagant, which is good, since the actor playing Smirnov certainly chewed the scenery!😉 But I am shocked that "Lovey" Howell could be a murderess!
Every episode has all blokes with fake tashies.
But they are lovely, aren't they?
What are tashies
lol that's because they use the same actors, repertory style to use a group of actors again and again doing all parts, and the tashes are convenient for making people look different, especially when the lestrade actor is recycled as random scottish characters
Becky Jacobsen moustache
plus they were all the rage then
Very entertaining! Love both actors!
Hey, where's Gillian and the Skipper?
And the professor and Mary Anne.
😒🙄😮💨
Brava, Schafer!
They are good but I prefer Rathbone and Bruce
My vote goes to Jeremy Brett.
Brett=🤮
Very enjoyable. Good to see Nathalie Schafer as well. Thank you for posting.
It’s Lovey!
Oh yes, put 20 years of age on the wife in this and you have one of the stars of Gilligan's Island...
Sherlock Holmes woulda had it so much sooner but for those contrarian wimmin!!!
Still love this series, watch it every night before bed.
What happened to Watson s hat
19:02 it was found beside the dead guy, so Lestrade kept it as evidence
Lovey!!!
3:33Why didn't he dash after him before he went outside the downstairs door? There was plenty of time. 🤨
Fantastic my favourite Sherlock Holmes
15:14 i missed the clue ! for once it was there, for sleuthing
Smirnoff reminds me of Daffy Duck.
Have you ever noticed, that gorgeous, passionate & talented Russian ballerina as a suspect in a good old-fashioned murder mystery show is an absolutely must? Look at "Murdoch Mysteries", which are set in the end of 19 - beginning of 20 century, - of course, there is an episode with Russian ballerina as a main femme fatale!
Oh! Mrs. Thurston Howell The Third. Why are Holmes and Dr. Watson wearing matching pajamas?
Those two characters here, I mean Watson and Holmes, area looking alike two circus clowns against my understanding about the couple that I draw out from Doyle writings. It’s simple parody on that in fact.
Sorry
Doyle's writings were, I think, meant to be taken "studiously," with Watson's character's providing a 'Greek Chorus" to direct the reader's appreciation to Doyle's intended topics: the powers of observation and deduction (with a foundation of applicable sciences). These may be seen as "dry" subjects, more readily digested in written form (and at the reader's leisure), whereas early television needed to insert itself into peoples' daily schedules in real-time. half-hour doses. Thus. the adding of entertainment value to "sweeten" the educational value and ensure an audience. What better way than to use Watson (and LeStrade) as comic foils to provide this entertainment value and, in so doing, keep the general public tuning in for more.
If you prefer the lessons without the "parody," I recommend reading the books and stories (with plenty of time for reflection and a snifter of brandy.)
Sheldon Reynolds said he based this series on A Study in Scarlet, a younger Sherlock.
Damn, Mrs Howell as a murderer. Gilligan would be so disappointed! He wouldn't approve of her killing her husband!
Excellent
I can understand being attached to your favorite hat and not liking to wear anyone else's, but doesn't Watson have at least one more hat to use in the meantime? It is nearly like only having one pair of shoes.
It's always Olga syEGay,it's mother Russia 😁🥑🌍🌻🍄🤪🥰🍿🎥🎥🎥🎥🦆
Love Eugene Deckers!! And The Ballerina Chick Is Super Cute!!
...the head of Russia Ballet character reminds me of Larry Storch's character, "Corporal Agarn", from the old comedy series "F Troop".
