A very good "pilot" of Sherlock Holmes. This is the second time over a handful of years that I have viewed this pilot - it has a good plot, acting, and atmosphere.
A pretty good story, loosely based on the Sherlock Holmes story "The Man With The Twisted Lip". The scene where Holmes finds the missing man's clothes floating near the banks of the river look identical to me as the same scene in the Jeremy Brett version. :-)
The stock music score heard here is the same one used in the 1935 film "Scrooge". Even some of the fonts used in the opening titles date back to the silent days.
Quite a bit of fun, this one! Thank you. Can you imagine, a license to run an opium den? Such a funky thing. I can't imagine why anyone would want to lie around day in and day out in an opium stupor. Longden did a good job as Holmes, but he just didn't quite do it for me visually. It was delightful, and I think you very much.
Well it's not the worst Sherlock Holmes I've seen and for the early 60s not to bad, would have thought it would have done better than unsold. Of course we now judge every Holmes by Jeremy Brett and there's not an actor on the planet that could come close to his character.
This has good audio and visual for a 64 year old film. The plot and acting were good. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much I've for the most part given up antenna TV , Michigan PBS , etc so interesting good movies are a pleasure .
It was funny to see the cars and trucks driving on London Bridge when they were riding around in horse and carriage. Thanks for the upload. :)
Great Fun, Love these olldies.Cheers for upload

The Man With The Twisted Lip
Holmes points our that there is “human blood” on the windowsill. How did he know it was human blood just by looking?
Liked it!

talk about your elaborate sets! :D
Not exactly Brett & Hardwicke, is it?
Nor Rathbone & Bruce either.
the 1950s set is awful hardly victorian
