Sherlock Holmes (TV-1955) THE HAUNTED GAINSBOROUGH (S1E35)

- 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 HAUNTED GAINSBOROUGH: Malcolm MacGregan will lose his family's Scottish castle if he can't make the mortgage payment, by midnight. His attempts to find a buyer for the Gainsborough portrait of his ancestor Heather have failed because her ghost keeps appearing to curse anyone who takes the painting. Holmes believes the haunting has more to do with the greedy mortgage holder than an actual spirit.
It's fun seeing Archie Duncan playing several roles in addition to Inspector Lstrade such as Malcolm MacGregan here and Lestrade's cousin Insp. MacDougal in the episode of the Jolly Hangman. Many of the ensemble cast of extras played several characters in different episodes.
Also as senior greystone
One fellow plays in at least 7 episodes and others in four or five, they are such good actors you don’t mind, it makes it fun, it was the 50’s after all 70 years ago. I love the relationship between Watson and Holmes. They are both superb actors.
The series was filmed in Paris, France. THey had to recycle a lot of actors because the number of good English speaking actors in Paris was extremely small.
Thank you, i was wondering if it was the same person.

The fire was still going??? She was really a/the ghost, after all? Interesting her name was also Heather for real...
How beautifully silly can this series get? I love every minute. It must have been fun to make!
Silly is the word
Scotland's gift to civilization

Did they think all Americans sound like Texans?
At the time it was the biggest part of the U.S. Americans think most Brits sound like they are from a small part of London.
Ha ha ha ha ha did they think Americans came from Texas! Ha ha Spaghetti Western Bar Hussies came from the Bronx!
@@lookbovineAverage Americans don't know what language they speak in the UK or where it is located.😅
But he was from Texas El Paso the buyer of the painting was a Texan right right
@@jessicabarber4495 it just seems to me that in a lot of those old Sherlock Holmes television shows that if they were American they always had a strong Texan accent
"You know Holmes she's a very pretty ghost."
Thanks for posting! I love these two in the lead roles and the black and white just makes it better!
Why, she could haunt my gainsborough any day!

everyone plays many different parts in this Sherlock series which I find as just fine.
They didn t have the budget for another actor. the mystery of the vanishing budget
Like in Columbo.
That was the English television system then. Many of these were in the Avengers, Secret Agent, and films.
@@Tigerex966 Or we can say Columbo was like Sherlock Holmes.
Dave Hallett lol
Was that LeStrade playing the role of the Scotsman of the Castle?
Yes, if you watch the credits at the end, they show his name.
shirley savitts S
Thank you Carieann McLeod.. I did not get to watch the credits..Great twist.
Of course it is at his worst character role.
That is a whole lotta Tartan to be wearing and adorned with. You would never wear a dress Sporran as casual wear, especially in those days. As Archie Duncan was born a Weegie, i can't underdstand why his Scottish accent was so bad. Thank you for the upload, it was a fun episode to watch. :)
That was decent of Holmes to still be concerned for her health after she fainted, and Mr. McGregor to let her rest in one of his rooms after what she did.
This was the series best episode. Perfect for a coffee break.
30 minute coffee break where do you work!
Holmes holds up a bell and skakes it in the face of Watson
Watson: Did you find something Holmes?
My grandma does that. Asks obvious questions with already clear answers. I think it's just a way of old speech to encourage the conversation recipient to speak. It's actually respectful of their perspective in inquiring elaboration. Stating curiosity in the obvious is a method of showing interest.
Cleo Rose so incredibly beautiful ♥️
Hello Pizza Guy/Flix, This one was quite fun. I am a sap for ghost stories, good, bad or indifferent. This was pretty good, and for a secondary Holmes and Watson, quite acceptable. We must always keep open minds. Thanks for the fun!
On
This ghost is a very charming & whitty lady! And this episode is absolutely one of the best in the entire show!
But I wonder how she effected the windows blowing open.🤔🪟
She is a stunning ghost ....can haunt my castle any day
A ghost scaring a ghost! LOL
Lol ?I'm still trying to figure this out ,love of life,!lines over lake, last old line,?
How many small business owners would love to sit at home and wait for customers to come knock on their door. Holmes has it made 😊
The buyer of the painting, trys to talk with an American Midwest accent, but, just can't do it, no mater how much he trys, ha,ha,ha, 🤣🤣🤪 I've watch it ten times, it's so good
TRIES
Love the piper’s put down of Archie! Great dialogue. I think this is my favorite so far as I go watch from 1 to 39. :)
My fave is "The Thistle Killer". I'm embarrassed that I didn't guess it sooner. To say any more would make me a spoiler.🫣
No self respecting Scott would accept the first counter offer! I want 5,000, I will give you 1,000, sold. That is harder to believe than ghosts.
Thanks for the tip
No self respecting scot would spell the name of his ancestry with two t s
Only a person who is not Scottish would do so!
Damn Sassenach pretending to be a Nobel Scot!
I'm not a Sasquatch I'm a Kiwi, mate. From near Dunedin. Yeah, but you guys are dynamite. Keep it up!
That definitely true!
I never saw that ending coming.
When I move that fast with candles, they go off.
If you look closely you'll see that their candles blew out too when they went running upstairs.
@@peterunnels3311Yet they remained lit when they went out to the windy balcony.🌬️
This episode, with the Lady Beryl episode, is my favorite one. I find Archie Duncan superb, a very fine actor, along with Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford. Excellent actors. Thank you, PizzaFlix.
I just love all of these little films. Thank you for posting.
It just came to me: The ghost reminds me of Catherine Zeta Jones!
is she the same girl in case of the french interpreter?
Some of these episodes are a little too "Scooby-doo" for my taste. I was half expecting the guy to say at the end, "And I would've gotten away with it, if it wasn't for those meddling kids!"
This programme/series was made long before Scooby Doo was even thought of.....
@@marybuckley4375 I don't think I've ever been presented with a more opportune moment to say, "No shit, Sherlock."
@@PhilBagelsPOTTY MOUTH! POTTY MOUTH! PHIL BAGELS IS A POTTY MOUTH!🚽🚽🚽🚽
SPOILER ALERT:
.
.
The ending was not well done.
Were she the ghost, she'd have enabled MacGregor to find the "treasure" that the castle portrait would have no need of sale. The "ghost" would most certainly have known the location of the treasure. But in that case there would be no story. So the ending intended to be mysterious and/or cute, was not well done. But still a very good episode.
most hilarious ever... hats off on the comedy ensemble on this one, and the writing
Great ending!
I bet the outtakes from this episode were comedy gold
What if Sherlock Holmes was in an episode of Scooby Doo? Watch this to find out!
Too funny!
Thank you Pizzaflix! This is a fine episode with an unexpected and cool ending!
Wonderful episode:). Sadly, I watched them all (I think). I will be watching them again, in the correct order this time:). Thank you, PizzaFix:).
There was only 20 actors in the whole world back then
More like a repertory company...
I notice a lot of the shows have the same actors playing a different character.
A troupe of actors. I notice the same with Alfred Hitchcock episodes use many of the same actors. Im ok with it but I can see that it made it nearly impossible to break into tv in the 50s as the same character actors are in so many roles
lol
practical budget issue...haha,...why get archie duncan in to do five minutes of lestrade only...when he is so useful..ha
Wow!
What an spine-chilling ending !👍💎👍
I would like a stimulant… would you like some tea? No thank you, not that bad habit, but maybe you have a wee drop of Scotland’s gift to civilization… say no more 😂
Sherlock and John looking at the plan interiors of the castle: "Ah yes so here are the hidden passage ways that our ghost heather was quickly dashing into"
Me: "Ah no Sherlock and John, she's a genuine ghost"
4:23 😂 marching around and being piped in
16:13 and complaining for not being piped in
Right. He should be complaining about not using punctuation & capital letters.😱🙀
The American was so overplayed... but that's OK. They were all having fun. 👏
id buy the painting just for the ghost. makes a great conversation piece at parties
i saw this 5 months ago and totally forgot the end LOL
Ghost with a shadow.
Of course every time a Scotsman is portrayed they make a point of how cheap he is.
Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford make such a great pair - love this adaption!
I keep on clicking 'like' 'like' 'like' with every new episode.
Me too. Love it.
Love these series.❤️❤️
The photograph on the shelf (2:09) is the identical one in the Sherlock Holmes Series with Jeremy Brett.
That is General Charles "Chinese" Gordon, killed at Khartoum by the muft in 1885i. He was a popular figure in
Great Britain at the time. His likeness was often in British homes.
Thanks for all the great flix!!!
he just loves playing Scotsman! :}
Thanks f posting these actors play different roles...superb Sherlock home series n this is the 1950s to carry on the legacy of 1940s Basil Rathbones Sherlock Holmes series ....very opulent n superb🎉🎉
Old Sherlock, what's not to love.
This episode is funny! Many thanks for sharing.
These were the days of the stock acting troop. Like in Shakespeare's time. Along with a very low budget... Though Ms. Milinaire, one of France's first female producers, ended up marrying the Duke of Bedford and restored Woburn Abby into some prominence. American Sheldon Reynolds lead a consortium to acquire the rights to produce Sherlock Holmes films at auction. After this series in 1955 he did another in 1969-70 starring Geoffrey Whitehead. This series is often praised for it's Victorian feel, but it was filmed in France with only stock shots of British iconic sites.
Enjoyed!
‘Too bad they don’t include the commercials
By definition, Heather can't be a warlock....
A wee drop of Scotland's gift to civilization. Ye ye,,, I'll drink to that !
'Thank-ye, Doctor - it was necessary!'
🥃
One of the corniest Sherlock flicks I have ever watched.
Too scary for you eh?
@@TTundragrizzly I love this series. They're quite relaxing, and I found myself charmed by Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes. 😊😊😊
basil rathbone was t hee Sherlock Holmes
Good viewing. Thanks for posting.
This was a fun one!
Lestrade the Scott
Oh my word awesome
And I thought why Holmes is not able to recognize inspector..😁 ...
Archie was great in every role he played.
Too funny the exaggerated walk of ‘the American’, just off his horse, eh? :-D
LeStrade plys McGregor
Watson goes crazy at the end.....made for a great episode!
Yes, Nigel Bruce (Basil Rathbone's Watson) was far too much of a bumbling buffoon to be an ex-Army surgeon. Crawford is more resembling of Doyle's Watson.
quite droll and cheeky
First shown on television 4th of July, 1955.
I don't understand why they were friendly towards the woman, who was the accomplice in the attempted crime.
I don't get that either or why she was so happy With them either
@@cmherbs Watch the very end closely. After Sherlock and Watson leave, she looks around to make sure no one is watching, enters the lit fireplace and then vanishes. She was NOT an actress portraying the ghost of Heather, she WAS the ghost of Heather. She was happy with Sherlock and Watson because they helped her in her mission to protect her descendents.
Sorry, I disagree with you. I cannot see how her acting might have protected Mc Gregor because she performed in strictly guidance of the
supposed mortgage holder.
@@cmherbs She was a chameleon.
so the ghost imitated the actress who’s still in one of the rooms
"The Haunted Gainsburgers" You dog will be frightened . Dig Ronnie's new hair color 😁
the ghost casts a shadow on the wall.
Lestrade in fancy dress !!
Kilt
lestrade is scotish castle owner...lol
Love seeing actor who plays Lastrae.
Archie Duncan?
Lestrade...
@@francoisebeylie2923 🚨
Lastrade you?
Straddle who?
Lestrade.
The mortgage holder was called "Doug" but in Scotland a 'doug' barks so it's an insult to call a Douglas (Gaelic: dhu glaise) a "doug".
Douglas K. Young,
Thank you very much.
I did not know that.
I wonder then, why would any Scot name their newly born infant boy "Douglas,"
knowing that someone eventually call their precious little one, "Doug"?
The 1st crush i had was in kindergarten & he was called "Doug."
At 5 years old at Chrustmas time if should my parents have another child - a son - if they would call name him "Doug." I was so enamoured by my beloved kindergarten classmate, i wanted a little brother ti be named the same.
My parents in a firm unison said an emphatic, "NO!"
I remained a lonely, only child; no gift from my parents did i receive of a little sister or brother.
I did not know "Doug" meant dog in Gaelic.
Both of my American parents were decendents of those who were born in Scotland.
@@peterdarcy907So what exactly are you trying to say?🤔
Diabolical Reasons with sound witnesses sufficient to sue
Do I see an Escher hanging on the wall at 2:00? An apposite anachronism.
Vielleicht sind die englische Versionen besser, die anderen deutschen fand ich albern. Gibt's diese Folge nicht auf deutsch?
those wacky Scots like to where their Kilt EVERYWHERE!,...and so thrifty too!, ("ticket included?"), hehehe :-)
WEAR
@@scarygary-qq1pj thank-you.,...I really MUST start editing myself before I hit send.
That man playing the Scotsman is the same man who plays the inspector lastrad from Scotland yard
Every time I see Archie the first name which comes to mind is Little John.The role he played in the T.V. series of Robin Hood from the early 50's.
Archie Duncan has the unique distinction in the world of Robin Hood, of playing a villain and a hero. He played Red Gill, the murderer of Robin’s father, in The Story of Robin Hood, and Little John in 105 episodes of TV’s The Adventures of Robin Hood between 1955-1960...........a little trivia for you Bobby
And sexy too.
NO! What was your first clue, Sherlock?🙀
Technically, SHERLOCK HOLMES got tricked by LESTRADE in this episode ... hahaha...
Isn't he the same actor acting as Inspector Lestrade in other parts? LoL
Yes.
So when I reached the found Man... Preferred Bacalao Blondes. 🐟🐟
🧤🎾🎾❤️
I think that's lestrades twin sister in a skirt
I wonder why did they made the actor playing Lestrade play several different characters in the series ...did they seriously believe that the audience wont notice ? The entire series is top notch and the budget spent on this must be very high compared to TV shows of that time period so they could had easily got someone else to play these characters ....The thing is Archie Duncan plays Lestrade so well and like with every well played character the audience begins to associate the actor with the character and its a great shock to the audience's suspension of disbelief when things like this happen .
Probably for monetary reasons?
I like to see actors have fun playing different roles. Doesn t bother me at'ole 😄
you won't fool us, Inspector Lestrade... 😁
So I must have missed something when the timing because I thought they were taking a 9:00 p.m. train in Watson mention they were there at 8:30 p.m.
cmherbs a strong tail wind????
2:50 that’s 8:30 pm next day, “tomorrow”
Like no long life in future.
Macgregan and Lestrade was played by Archie Duncan - who also played Little John in the TV series 'Robin Hood' with Richard Greene - who played in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes - and on and on -
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
good one thanks
Where did Heather disappear into after seeing Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson off, in the last scene!
🤭

Touchet It's her own portrait can't sell what doesn't belong to you LOL
