10:58 Test #1: Crocker can vanish if he chooses... but Mary would be left to face the law. Test #2: Both of them can go... but the police may seize someone else as a suspect. Crocker proves his moral character in both cases, and that resonates with Holmes, who is accustomed to dealing with the worst sorts of people.
I love the two of them so much they are the go to every night before I sleep Bretts performance is impeccable the holmes I always thought of when reading the stories I only wish he lived to complete his work 😔
There never was and never shall be an actor that was born to play Sherlock Holmes more than Jeremy Brett, all others are just actors but Brett is Sherlock Holmes, and that must be the truth.
12:35 I LOVED it when Mary HUGGED Holmes. I was pleasantly blown away, as I don't think any female client, even in the books has ever done that no matter how grateful! LOL I can only imagine how many times they had to shoot that bit till the actress or Jeremy could keep from grinning or bursting out laughing!
No one before or after him needs to apply for the job he did it completely correct and my specifications as to how I felt he should be personified absolute perfection I only wish he lived long enough to get the rest of the stories on screen we have been cheated by death once again the bastard🤬
I agree but I don't think Conan Doyle would be anything but embarrassed. Read up on Mr. Doyle. He was a Very religious man and wrote many a tome about religion that he was pleased with. The Sherlock Holmes books being so popular did Not make him happy in fact I believe he was shocked. But in later life he went back to writing more as the money was to be made.
Moment 12.36 " Well, I can handle the most dangerous of the villains. But I'm under extreme pressure my dear Watson, when a lady as beautiful as Mary hugs me all of a sudden. "
@@wardmccreery4692 Not true sir. Mr . Rathbone was a consummate actor that is a fact, but he was also consumed by an overactive egoism. It became known over time that he insisted on the character of the good doctor Watson be portrayed as a doddering incompetent old fool so as to not be overshadowed by the considerable talent of Nigel Green who played Watson. Mr. Rathbone who played many great roles in his time didn't want such a man playing alongside him in such a title role to be considered his equal. Rathbone thus was a curr! Green was paid well to subsume his portrayal in order to appease Rathbone in order to ease his fears that he might at any one performance be outshone even in the slightest. For surely this would occur at some point during the series which of course was sorely needed at the period in which they were filmed. Tho' I consider the Baskerville film to be nearly as great as almost any rendition of the piece I most assuredly consider Mr. Rathbone to be a coward of the first order!
"No! No Sir, It Will Not Do!....Captain?.....Suppose The Police Arrest Some Other Poor Devil? What Then?.....THEN I WILL USE ALL MY POWERS TO PERSUADE THEM OF THIER MISTAKE!"
what you are not understanding, is that it was a very differant time. a woman did not have the right to divorce. the husband had all the rights. shhe had nothing.
I understood it quite differently from you. She met/danced with the sailor prior to marrying her husband. Her husband was a drunk, and a violent one at that; not the caring one that she presented to the police. He killed her dog and threatened to do the same to her. I don't believe divorce was a viable option to her, or women in general, at the time. As for the love affair, trespassing and murder, I suppose Holmes felt these transgressions paled in comparison to the underlying motives.
Eustice clearly broke his vows to "love, honor and cherish" by treating his wife like dart board and killing her pet when he was in his rages, while Mary was resigned to endure his physical cruelty. Pretty sure the money wouldn't have kept her there if she had any other choice.
Dr Bell never had any "real cases" He was a surgeon and lecturer at Edinburgh University. The nearest he got to a criminal case was appearing as an expert witness in court.
I'm afraid I cant comment on the documentary that you watched as I have no knowledge of it ,save the fact that you have stated that you have watched it.. No I'm not an expert. Neither am I a gullible fool that believes everything that's pumped into my brain from the idiot box.
In answer to the rabble of the PC generation we are now bound with..Conan Doyle & Holmes saw thru the hype as the woman married the old fool and the old fool bursts in on the girl and her beloved and in self-defense he kills the old fool...Holmes rises up and above the conventional and reprieves the couple. Incidentally..divorce was verboten at the time and would have caused her to be penniless. The key word always to be lost upon the "PC Thot Police" is "Old Fool" and anymore elucidation is based upon a lost cause!
Sorry, this is one that I cannot agree with Sherlock Holmes on. If the wife did not love the rich man, she should have divorced him, not cover up his murder by her lover who was trespassing. The old man had the right to kill such an intruder late at night.The old man should not have hit his wife though. Before that, he was in the right, and could have divorced her The sailor should not hang, but he should do some time. He entered a man's home without permission, so it is not "self defense".
At the time it was almost impossible to obtain a divorce under English Law without literally YEARS of legal and clerical effort. Mary didn't realize Sir Eustice was a violent, abusive drunkard until after they were married. Mary had clearly "invited" Crocker to come in to at least talk, so trespass is iffy. The case would have been an extremely ugly scandal, benefiting no one, and hardly serving "justice".
this silly soap-operish act of letting the culprit go (yes he is the culprit and should face trial) is way out of Holmes's character and very disappointing
+nikanoru13 It was selfdefense and dfending a woman against the attacks of a brutal man. Holmes may not act according to law, but he stands on the side of an abused woman.
Was the 'Blue Carbuncle' the one with the diamond in the goose; the diamond which he kept himself. Didn't he say in a kind of 'finders keepers' fashion that '''it was not his job [Watson] to correct all the police's mistakes, nor cover their failures!''' Made me love his character even more! :D
This was brilliantly done! Makes me almost wish that Holmes & Watson were actually real people! Cheers!
glorious ending. and the captain was one of a kind in his integrity. Holmes the secretly soft hearted.
Brilliant! The acting , the story ending, everything! A great source of enjoyment! Thank you!
Watch these extremely well produced and acted episodes over and over again. A great source of enjoyment.
God I love a happy ending! Way to go Holmes :)
This is undoubtedly my second favourite episode of the series, the first being The Priory School.
One of the better SH episodes by far

Simply fantastic! True justice was given. That's what laws simply cannot do.
Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.

Truth🌹
intimacy at 2:53 etc...is accentuated by the sounds of his creaking leather, with movement, and the sound of her dress---love it!
Every frame of this show is gold.
12:35 I LOVED it when Mary HUGGED Holmes. I was pleasantly blown away, as I don't think any female client, even in the books has ever done that no matter how grateful!

Diana North i noticed that too. A very nice touch in more ways than one
Holmes's cringe was very noted; he was just not prone to human contact.
How completely taken aback he was!!!!
No one before or after him needs to apply for the job he did it completely correct and my specifications as to how I felt he should be personified absolute perfection I only wish he lived long enough to get the rest of the stories on screen we have been cheated by death once again the bastard🤬
ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT.. I TOO AM CAPTIVATED BY THIS AMZING CHARACTER OF FICTION AND YET SO REAL AND ALIVE.. I AM A FAN...
Bravo to Dr. Watson, best judge!
Jeremy Brett is hands down the best actor that ever played Holmes. I’ll stake everything I own that Conan Doyle would agree.

" Well, I can handle the most dangerous of the villains. But I'm under extreme pressure my dear Watson, when a lady as beautiful as Mary hugs me all of a sudden. "
Bravo for posting this very unique episode...all done beautifully. How we miss Jeremy Brett and are left with lesser incarnations!
No actor is a lesser incarnation, they all try their best, let us support them.
I can’t tear up witnessing some of these episodes knowing that Jeremy is gone he gave me Sherlock Holmes in three dimensions😞
Jeremy Brett is definitely my favourite actor for the part of Sherlock Holmes.
+Michael Jaffray KING : He's the best Sherlock, Michael! There's no doubt about that...
I consider him 2nd to Basil Rathbone
Jon Hall they are equal!!

@jiveball @lyraclemons2165: The actor who played Watson in the Rathbone films was Nigel Bruce (not Green).
The best Holmes ever.
Well that’s a worth watch ! Amazing

Excellent!

Anne Louise Lambert looked so beautiful.

It wasn't even a love affair. She never broke any vows. The Captain had massive integrity. He even said he didn't see her until that night.
Best jury ever😁🥰
Superb reply sir! I do indeed concur!
No huggin!
Sweet love story
Classic
awwww
Lady Mary looks a lot like the actress Gillian Anderson
from the X files
(Scully & Mulder).
Shouldve run jack-this girl is poison convinced her stuff dont stink-user teaser -
Only Part II of this video is blocked in my country. It must have portrayed Justin Trudeau before he lost weight.
forms serve man, not vice versa
@rshaddock: You did not get anything right.
5/6-8 Leonard Street Victoria 3175.
where the fuck is part 2 and 3
She loved the money but deplored the man that came with it
Not really. Didn't she say she hated her duties as his wife and lady of the house.
Eustice clearly broke his vows to "love, honor and cherish" by treating his wife like dart board and killing her pet when he was in his rages, while Mary was resigned to endure his physical cruelty.
Pretty sure the money wouldn't have kept her there if she had any other choice.
You all know this is fiction.Right?
+lars jeffervessen What? Sherlock Holmes didn't exist?!? What about Dr. Watson?
based on real cases of Dr. Bell.....Doyles professor
Dr Bell never had any "real cases" He was a surgeon and lecturer at Edinburgh University. The nearest he got to a criminal case was appearing as an expert witness in court.
then the documentary I watched must be in error..are you an expert?

He lets James Ryder off the hook in Blue Carbuncle as well; not so out of character for Holmes.

He did it all the time actually.
