Sherlock Holmes (TV-1954) THE WINTHROP LEGEND (S1E7)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- 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 WINTHROP LEGEND: Holmes and Watson spend the weekend at the Winthrop Manor to determine who is threatening Mr. Winthrop. Is it his brother, his blind wife, or his brother's bride-to-be? Or is it the family curse?
I love this Watson much better than when portrayed as a bumbling fool. This one is a real military man, who is not afraid of action. And he is no fool even though he isn't quite sure what Holmes is usually up to.Howard Marion-Crawford does a great job with the role.
He play Watson so well, its a shame that he had such a terrible ending to his life. Bad health, then alcohol and then took sleeping pills while using alcohol. Ruled accidental but it is very sad he ended up in a miserable situation. He is so alive in these episodes.
Yeah thats a very good description of Book Watson. He could be closer to Sherlock as a Friend, like the other one, and isnt much of a Womanizer it seemns, but hes quiet good.
The Rathborn one is more like Hastings from the Poirot books.
@Mary Smit I know hes the Comedic Sidekick, and thats fine, its just a little sad, cause book Watson was pretty good, and the Movies of that Time established the Comedic Idiot Watson.
@@Sunaki1000 you are right, mon ami😀
Yes i can not stand how that make watson an idiot. Like how is he a army surgeon.
I didn't think I would like these short versions or this cast. Now, I find myself viewing most of the time.
Very enjoyable.
For the last Few month....I have tried to turned off all the negative news and images and these shows and my dog have made life a bit more...kind.
I love this series. Too short so I've had to watch it several times over. I like the light humour and the actors are excellent, IMO. Leslie Howard fans are also pleased to see his son's work, no doubt, as am I.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
I, too, love these episodes. This version was undoubtedly the best. Thanks.
The character dear the character.
In my humble opinion, they are all of the very best 😊
I have absolutely fallen in love with these Sherlock Holmes short episodes. Interesting portrayals of both main characters. Very enjoyable!
It is so nice to be able to understand each word spoken. These days it is all mumbling, jumbling mouths filled with marshmallows supported by plastic bodies and no story plots.
A very good episode of "Sherlock Holmes" with H. Marion Crawford and Ronald Howard. It is interesting how much of a plot can be integrated into a 25 to 26 minute show.
Walter Wheeler. I love th e se movies
@@patriciaedwards5074 I also enjoy this series.
Yes it does. Thats because of good writing n acting. Something we lost along the way of technology
I will always see Basil Rathbone in the role of Holmes but I enjoyed this one to. I enjoy Sherlock Holmes stories no matter who plays him!😂
Thanks for posting this video!❤️
i love that 26 minutes..all problems solved !
Good binge watching…I’m surprised how much I like this series, to bad they didn’t make more of them 😢
This one's awful. Even basil's ones better
I like this Sherlock and Dr Watson actors the best!
Yes!
@@ardithmckeaigg548 I think I do too. They are lovable, each radiant in his own way. Interesting that Holmes works so well with lightness and grace.
I discovered this series about 14 years ago, when I bought a cheap DVD collection (not digitally remastered) of twenty episodes in England. I had never heard of this series. I am 65, but this series, despite using mostly English actors, was never broadcast in the UK!
I am of the same age as yourself, and only recently came across them. They are not Basil Rathbone movie quality, but I do prefer to watch these than the nonsense that is out there today.
So many "how do you do" ¡!
Besides that, it's so addictive and all the mannerisms and details etc.
Classic and class.
Just found these oldie but goodies...THANKS FOR POSTING!!!!!
I grew up with Basil Rathbone ,then. Jeremy Britt. But I like this one too. You can pack a lot of story in one half hour
They usually pick a lot of good Actors for that Role. I feel you find more good then bad ones.
Maybe you will like this too?

Sherlock in less than 30mins. Purely nice for the old telly I grew up with & to be frank I prefer it to today's 4k HD & the rest. This period is evocative of a telly age thankfully I can watch on Ye Olde UA-cam.
A BIG thank you to all the frontliners worldwide. God be with us all during this difficult time. May 22. 2 months and 4 days under lockdown. Thanks UA-cam for the free first class old mysteries! Old is gold!
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX
@@PizzaFLIX I should be the one thanking you PizzaFlix! I just watched it again! I'm watching all the 39 videos. I just came across it today. Lockdown? So what? I have your videos to keep me entertained!🍻👍
I've become addicted to these two
Very Nice. Thanks For Sharing
I find these shows very comforting
Thanks for the upload
Absolutely wonderful I to am binging for the third time I agree I wish they had made more great stories clean language a time when families could watch together I will be following you guys for ever more keep up this wonderful viewing experience the old stuff is the best
Watching during the Covid19 Lockdown in Malaysia. I prefer watching Watson than reading about him! He's so amusing! My favourite crime buster since the early 80's! I saved my pocket money to buy his books!
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX
This is a great series, good warm characters. Sgt Wilkins is my favorite. I would liked to have known him. Watson is a strong character here. He has a punch like Mike Tyson!
Holmes can dangerous to Watson some times.
@@michaelgmoore5708hmm?🤔
Love these classics. They were usually played on channels 38 or 56 in Boston.
good movie, the Legion at one time was the best "foot solider" fighting force ever ... thanks for the upload
I also like this version of inspector LeStrade. He played Little John in the Robin Hood TV series, and the SH episode of the league of red headed men had Friar Tuck from the RH series. I loved the Robin Hood TV series with Richard Greene when I was a kid.
Thanks those references brought back a few childhood memories from the1960s.
Excellent Holmes / Watkins rendition (:
Tnx for providing !
Who rendered “Watkins”s’ role?
The actors in this show are just amazing! They are real professionals, who used to play in the theater, - also in classic dramas & tragedies, I belive, - so their performance is absolutely excellent! And it helps to create a proper Victorian atmosphere in this episode, because Victiorans were very fond of supernatural!
UserOj Well spoken by you! Especially the theatrical experience and influence. Great episodes and only lasting approximately 26 mins.
@@DAVYMAC I have also found another movie, obviously made by theatrical professionals,- "A Nero Wolfe Mysteries" (A&E Series), which I enjoy immensely!
@@user-oj5bw7sl8p user-oj. Thank you for the show tip!
Watson is always outraged by the eccentric behavior of his roommate. "Really Holmes, must you fire that crossbow and nearly make me die an agonizing death?"
Holmes: "Whoops !"
Nice! How about 17:45 "Holmes, really. I don't know...what on earth do you think you're doing?"
I love this version of their characters. They're a little bit like college roommates lol
Great episode, thank you for the upload
proper portrayal of the classic (enjoyed every episode)
It's so sad how little people know of this series its sooooo good. Poor sherlock 😭
Are you talking about tiny people or do you mean "It's so sad how *few* people"? 😭
Grammar, grammar🙄
@@deadcancermage how little you know of grammar it seems! 😃
They don’t tire either Have views this one 3 times. Peace to all. 🌎 🧘🏾♂️
SUPERBLY CLASSIC, BRITISHLY CHARMING - ENCHANTING CHARACTERS -THE BEST OF ALL VERSIONS
Ron Howard and Jeremy Brett are my 2 favorite Holmes. Their Dr. Watson's are perfect. One is fun, the other real serious; but both are very good.
To me Jeremy Brett is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes.
Yessssss so true
I love both series ..all four did a wonderful job wish they're were more episodes of this Sherlock and Watson
Thanks for the upload PizzaFlix.
I admit to being partial to Jeremy Brett. But this is excellently done!!!
Cynthia , I wonder if you noticed that the actor in the ' Winthrop Legend ' bears an uncanny resemblance to the infamous Lord Lucan ??
Ha ha. You ladies and Jeremy Brett. Tsk tsk.
@@ivorbiggun710 I'm a straight guy and I'd give live birth to Jeremy Brett's children. LOL
Excellent. Thank you for posting.
Ronald Howard was a fine actor. Who ever said he lacked star quality was truly mistaken. Any actor or anyone associated with theatre of films etc makes a great mistake in expecting or requiring an actor or actress to be the remake of their father or mother or anyone else does folly indeed.
I love this episode. It is one of my favorites.
When people still clearly understood what the word "irony" meant.
That's what you do to clothes, right?
And the use of "literally"
Peg should have waited till after they were literally married.
It's such a pity that the English language has been reduced to simple one syllables and foul curse words.
Agreed
My reason to watch tv series is that I enjoy discovering how an actor may appear in different productions and I’m so greatly surprised when this happens, in this episode the policeman looks like the actor who plays the role of Higgins in Magnum p.i; Holmes 1954, magnum 1984, 30 years after, I’m not sure but I think that he is. Greetings from Bogotá in the lockdown.
@Carlos Greetings from India.
I wish prosperity to your country and to you and your family that can live in peace, joy and harmony and obviously in love and fraternity...
🐙dang it, now I think so too!! Now how can I find out??
My favorite old time movies Sherlock 🕵️♂️ Holmes
Major prop blooper!
Look at the coin in Watson's hand at 15:07. It bears the head of George V (1911 to 1935). But the episode is set in the 1890s!
Who are you sherlock Holmes?
🐙......😳
Er, well, if you actually look at the clothing of the brother he is wearing Edwardian attire. The same style that the Teddy boys would bring back into fashion in later years, hence the name. So perhaps not such a prop blooper!
@@alfredtatlock7084 YOU! are the real Sherlock Holmes! 😃😃👍🏻👍🏻☺️☺️
Ronald Howard is up there with Basil Rathbone as the best Sherlock Holmes , giving the character a more warm & easy going vibe which is refreshing. Jeremy Brett always seemed much too serious and looked like he had a baton stuck up his arse.
Brett's Sherlock filmings were the most actuate to the stories ... all particulars were checked ...
How do you do? No how do you do ? No no how do you do? I love these old stories im an American I wonder was it really like this in this era , the polite formalities?
Well, the correct response to "How do you do?" used to be (and still is, in refined circles) a reply in the same vein. Nowadays, though, people take the question literally and are apt to respond, "Very well, thanks!... and you?" or something similar. Times change; habits evolve. I suppose the old way of simply answering one question with the same question was rather daft, if you think about it.
@@hislittlemrs.9235 yes it's sad, I guess that's why I like to escape somtimes by watching these old episodes.
"I beg your pardon!"..."No, I beg YOUR pardon!"
But, no one ever grants the pardon and assures the person that begging isn't necessary.
@@kh23797 ..hmmm. I always consider "How do you do" similar to "How are you doing?"..."Thanks for asking. I am just fine. How are YOU doing".
....
If ya don't want all that banter, two people can merely exchange "Howdy"s.
"How do you do?" in this context really functions as "Hello!" So the proper reply is to say Hello back, i.e., "How do you do?"
It has nothing to do with health.
I would love to have one of those gold pieces right about now lol thanks for posting
I would really like to know more about the actress, "Karen" who played Peg Hall, Harvey Winthrop's fiancee'. No last name indicated in the credits and no results doing an internet search.
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing these gems with us!💛
Quite weird, that. She is quite a handsome woman, as were a lot of the actresses in this series.
I went to IMDb, who's never let me down, until now. According to that source, her entire bio was this
"Karen is an actress, known for Sherlock Holmes (1954)."
and her entire filmography
"Sherlock Holmes (TV Series)
Peg Hall
- The Case of the Winthrop Legend (1954) ... Peg Hall"
Nothing else.
24:40 'But surely Holmes...' I so hoped Holmes would retort with 'stop calling me Shirley'.
Ivor Biggun 😆😆😆
😂🤣🤡🤭
haha, me too
Ivan Desny (the younger brother) was a very well-known and famous actor in Germany. To discover him here and to hear him speak such perfect English is one of the biggest surprises for me in recent years.
Ivan Desny was a French-German actor of Russian-Swedish origin who played in an English series and spoke the language fluently. Now that's what I call international. He must have been a true multi-talent. All respect!
Oh, yes, he was born in Beijing (China) and died in Switzerland. He spent his early youth in Tehran, Washington, D. C., Paris and Brisbane (Australia).
Excellently deduced Holmes my dear chap.
@@alfredtatlock7084 😄😄 Thank you! ❤️ ☺️
Great series... addicting
i never knew these existed, these are great. Most of the time the old ones ARE the BEST , the new ones just can't compare, although I really like the Sherlock Homes w/ Jermy Brent ( I think that is his name) that was from the 80's i believe, the rest of the newer ones leave alot to be desired. Leeana
And a very rare appearance of Ivan Desny, speaking English. He normally played only in French and German movies. Interesting man, Russian, born in Beijing in the 1920s...
Binge watching on a rainy day. Super
The narration by Watson (1:11) is the hallmark of the Sherlock Homes fictional series.
Thanks for sharing ,, like it so much ,,
Nice playlist. Still need one for the Shadow series!
Short, but excellent.
Not a smart move to murder someone with Sherlock Holmes in the house.
It's never a smart move to murder someone in general.
Wow! That is a very perfect deduction!
Criminals always think they can outsmart the law.
@@mirandachamberlain7424 How about in particular?
"Now you've gone too far"------A G A I N!!! Har!
This is a great series
Didn't that police Bobby remind you of john hillerman of Magnum PI fame? Great show. For me, these were the best actors that played sherlock and watson!! Not such a bumbling watson. And Sherlock was likeable. They both were. Maybe that goes against what the original writings were but I don't care about that. I like these characters. 😃 Thanks for the upload!!🙏
This reminds me of that famous Scottish Castle Fife! The Direct Heir is Doomed to Never Inherit the Estate.
Struggling like a fish I needed this
@@billh.8515 I meant that Sherlock wiggling on the couch was like fish and I found it funny but thanks anyway
Well that escalated quickly!
Peter Copley killed off so soon remembered for many dramatic roles ''Quatermass and the pit and Cadfael most remembered
the series directors certainly loved shooting close-ups.
….because he had some actors that could act and did not have to rely upon set and effects nearly as much.
i like that.. it has power, i think that s part of what makes it very watchable.. i must confess that i start sleeping in some of the other holmes series, but. not this one... that and solving many problems in 26 minutes ! lol
Why would someone downvote this??
They're probably philanthropic film critics who hate to see us easily amused viewers waste our worthless time as much as they whose time is invaluable . With such abundance of generous souls, there's still hope everything pre dating last week gets funnelled down a memory hole!
Because no court in the world would ever convict them.
Probably just ppl who prefer a different Holmes and Watson to this one...I like them, myself, I like to see all different types of portrayals.
Excellent
The elder Winthrop brother also played Lady Baryl's husband.
Very funny that in the case of an accidental death only one policeman is sent
It would be gratifying if Holmes were to actually PREVENT a murder from being committed. I don't think he has ever managed to pull that off. Of course, once the killer has struck he/she cannot hope to evade the good detective's clutches... but it would be nice if Holmes could save a life just once :-( xxx
He did. The Case of the Perfect Husband.
Discovering the ticking bomb at the military base.
this holmes is so different then all the others!
So was James Bond & Doctor who
@@patricksutton4327wrong
Ronald Howard was a warm and charming Holmes, unlike the cold character of the original stories. The purists must be outraged, but he is just the sort of fellow I would love to drink with at a bar. Shame his real life father was in a plane shot down by the loathsome Nazis. I like to imagine the old boy looking down from Heaven and beaming with pride at his son.
He wasn’t shot down by the Nazis but by the Luftwaffe.
@@UkOutreach and the difference is ?
To be ether a civilian worker or in the German military you had to be a Nazi party member.
No membership no work therefore he was shot down by a NAZI!
No Nazis, no Luftwaffe. Ergo, shot down by the Nazis.
@@lordeden2732
You will find that is not true. As a matter of fact Adolf Hitler's own valet and personal security guard was not a member of the NSDAP party.
@@lordeden2732 This is incorrect. The NAZI party did not want to be watered down by including everyone. Only the extreme higher ups in the Military joined the party. The Luftwaffe were excellent fliers and fighters. Not NAZIs

Muito Bom! Obrigada🙋♀️🙏💖
Did Howard Marion-Crawford usually get credited as H. Marion-Crawford, or was it only in these, to play down the other lead being surnamed Howard?
And yes, Marion-Crawford's affability and likeability did so much to make these super enjoyable, and to make us overlook so many foibles. In this one, other than the widow, how many of the characters were found smiling carelessly with the innocent man's still-warm body nearly at their feet?
There is still the unanswered question at the end as to whether the blind woman murdered the lady and of she was really blind. Not a good ending of the show at all. Too many loose ends.
Liam Neeson sure has been an actor for quite a while.
Sherlock totally missed the 👻
Sheldon Reynolds was only 31 himself when he made the series. He chose to portray a young and inexperienced Sherlock, yet human and fun.
You’ll notice the policeman at the very beginning
in the opening credits as they yell action he’s standing still for a moment
until they yell action and then he starts moving
very unnatural.
He should have been walking as the scene opened
you’ll also notice as Holmes and Watson are walking down the sidewalk they come to the white cobblestone at the edge of the sidewalk,
which is their their mark to step into the street.
Lol at Holmes upside down on the sofa
I really like this series, although this is one of the weaker episodes. Nevertheless thanks for posting, PizzaFlix. P.S. I think One Step Beyond is a great series too.
I especially like the "Pennsylvania Gun" episode. Deductions and reasonings
Not a mention of, "The games afoot."
Yes when I went to go you get my grandchild milk I stepped on one of his games in the middle of the night while I was watching Sherlock Holmes so I guess the game is afoot
The actor who plays John Winthrop plays Lord Beryl in S1E2
Peter Copley's face is so familiar to me. I thought I remembered seeing him in American movies with an American accent. He must have a look-a-like.
I love the respect and manners that were common then. May I introduce my colleague, Dr. Watson. We don't speak like that (with great respect) today. If we did, society would be much nicer.
Por favor subtitulen series y/o peliculas, muchas gracias Norma
Intelligent individuals always play "dumb." Dr. Watson was a 🏆
OK, I am not sure of the ending. WAS the blind woman really their and pushed the girl out of revenge or was it in, in a sense the legend proving itself true?

@@genkatqltr737 Well, I all along thought that she was faking her blindness, so she concocted this whole thing and framed the fiancee and then pushes her down the steps. So now she ends up with the man she truly loves and the fortune to boot with no suspicion on herself. Now she will miraculously regain her sight after the marriage.
@For Truth what's so funny about that? please explain LOL....
That constable was as useful as that Inspector Lestrad .
That Man the Heir to the estate. Looks like Lord Lucan.
Holmes: sit down over there *a metal chair*
Also holmes: *jumps into the comfy sofa*
In reviewing most of the replies I only found one who noticed and who asked the question as to who prepared the meal.. To him (im1who84u): " they of course called out to have pizza delivered." John made the food arrangements and paid for the food and covered the tip with his recent collection of silver coins.
These shows have some of the most beautiful women in them. The black hair actress is so pretty. .
Is Nigel Bruce who you speak of? He enlisted into the infantry in WW1 and
I'm just wondering, this is 1955 and I saw Basil Rathbone playing Sherlock in 1943 amd the scenes, characters, music much more polished. What am I missing?
Arthur Wontner was the premier Sherlock Holmes in the 1931-33 movies, well worth watching, i highly recommend . 🎥🥂
Holmes uncanny natural curiosity is uncanny but usually dead on the money,why can't life be this way
Don’t know why, but Like this one a lot.
Doesn’t tire.
Love it all
When was this aired for the first time?
He had lord Lucan sat right in front of him and he didn’t even realise it. You let me down Sherlock..
Is the constable Higgins from Magnum Pi?
