by far and away the best Holmes series!!! Never before or since have Sherrlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and Inspector Lestrade found such charming and humorous actors to play themselves! Conan Doyle would have been delighted! Thanks so much for sharing
I’ve seen so many Sherlock Holmes film/tv programmes over the years - but these are by far the best. So entertaining with good humour running through them. Thanks so much for uploading them - have become hooked after coming across them when browsing.
He’s my favorite of their character actors. He’s delightful! And of course, the Case Of Harry Crocker was my favorite of his. That and the Shy Ballerina. A girl could always use such a loyal defender as he was in the latter.
Oh, I just saw the name in the credits: Eugene Dekker, he played Pettyfoot. I'll have to look for him more thoroughly later, because yes, he plays wonderfully!
Thank you so much PizzaFlix, for all these. Love them! So refreshingly different, not too scary but very engaging; wonderful loveable actors. What a nive service you do for us.
"Detectives and Shakespeare!" lamented the theatre director. I can't help but wonder how much an actor enjoys playing an actor or a theatre director, as in this episode. And I like how the actor playing the theatre director threw himself into his role with such gusto. Yes, it was a melodramatic performance and his character was nothing more than a stereotype of a theatre director, but I love the colorful way he brandished his monacle as he said his lines, especially when he says "the show must go on!" (at 19:00)
i love the "plaid" style patterns in men's suits - and in good taste - suits now are are all the same, except in cut - charcoal grey, dark blue, pin stripes. how fun the suits look in this series - so much more artful and different.
@doctorwho0077 Yes, there is some buffoonery with this Watson, but nothing like Nigel Bruce. Mr. Bruce's Watson ruins the version with Basil Rathborn for me.
Another very good episode of "Sherlock Holmes" from the 1954 series with Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford. This episode has a good plot, pacing, and acting from the primary and supportive cast. It was well worth watching.
We need Sherlock Holmes investigating political leaders. And religious leaders who pal around with them. Investigating their official versions of news and Bible commentaries. To see if they are true or not.
@@michaelwertzy9808 You don't need to imagine 7 yr police veteran Joshua Carrier being in prison for the rest of his life... an openly gay policeman busted in bed with junior high school boys. Imagine having trained K9s able to identify boy poop on a man's hand. Carrier would have been busted molesting boys years before he finally got caught.

Don't mind it... sort of a nostalgic feeling which enhances the warm feeling of watching black and white.
Какой блестящий, замечательный сериал, какие интересные сценарии, великолепная игра актеров, бесподобные Холмс, Ватсон, Лейстрейд и Уилкинс! Я так рада, что нашла это!
Eugene Deckers was quite interesting in his parts in these Holmes shows... I especially liked when he played an escape artist... as the theater manager in this episode he was amusing.
An optimistic Holmes really made miracle finding the link providing some thrilling moments to save an innocent before few hours to the gallows inspite of all adversities.
Rubbish Not all. The Police and Military wore Moustaches. In fact the Military insisted their men did. But not all civilians did I have a large collection of male family and their friends take during the mid to late Edwardian period and only a small number had moustaches!
How I do wish that I could have lived in the time that these occurrences existed, in my opinion,a very (simple and relaxed time) , not in the world of today when everything is done in a hurry, and people are not very understanding and not very religious 8:40
I just found this series. Ronald Howard looks a lot like his actor father Leslie. Both great actors! That stage manager, Eugene Deckers was in 7 of these episodes. He wasn't that good so I wondered why. I'm binge watching these today. Campy fun!
It is ironic I think that whenever Mr Holmes and the Doctor pull up in front of the police station, the same lady in the same outfit crosses in front of the camera every time. It seems editing was in vogue even back in the 1950s.
I think the actor who murdered Brighton's newly acquired wife did him a big favour. Brighton had got himself saddled with a bully who would have given him grief for another possible thirty years. ' delicate mouth' he told Holmes she had. More like a sewer outlet.
I absolutely love this Sherlock Holmes series. My only criticism is that very little attention was paid to the importance of proper laboratory technique! Of course it is too late to make a change! Yet I CRINGE when I watch Mr. Holmes contaminate bottle after bottle of his chemicals by not decanting a small estimated amount into a beaker, and then decant from it into a graduated measuring cylinder or a pipette, then into his chemical concoction! Just notice the concoction's foam on the lip of the chemical's now ruined chemical bottle! Yikes!
Most men wore beards and mustaches well into the 20th Century because the easy-to-use razor blade had not been invented. Barber shops had long lines each morning of men who wanted a shave ... OUCH.
"Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaption"!! Who are you kidding? Sure they're vaguely entertaining but Ron Howards version is the most un-Sherlock interpretation ever produced. Try Jeremy Brett for a really faithful adaption with strict adherence to the canon.
@@oceanbrzzz You miss the point; I didn't say that it couldn't be vaguely entertaining, my point of contention was that it can by no means be described as the "most faithfully filmed adaption" It's Sherlock lite, watered down into the half hour sit-com format, with a very chirpy, cheeky chappy interpretation of Holmes. (Reminds me a bit of Matt Smith go at doing Dr Who)
@@j.dragon651 see my reply to @Marcia Davis. I thought Mr Downey had a lot of fun playing Holmes & I enjoyed it. Don't mind Cumberbatch either. (They certainly don't try to gloss over the drugs angle!) But for true, classic Holmes, you can't go past Mr Basil Rathbone himself-as long as you ignore those awful "patriotic" wartime movies where you get scenes like where Holmes is exhorting the Lumpenprole & criminal elements of London to unite to fight the Nazi's. Peter Cushing did also a classic, fog drenched Hound of the Baskervilles.
If somebody kills somebody who authorizes the next person to kill the person who just killed somebody. The next person who killed the person who killed the person is a Killer 2 ponder that
Not suicidal, but experimental, daring. He did ask Watson to have a stethoscope ready. The exploding was an experiment gone awry. They don’t always go as planned.
I disagree. What a wonderful stroke of "luck" that Holmes got distracted!! Possibly his stomach acid would have neutralized something in the beverage :)
In the 20s/30s/40s the cute actresses had lipstick only on the middle half of the lips, making their mouth look about one inch wide. Later: Martha Raye solved that.
At the beginning of all of these, I keep wondering if that constable will wait until AFTER that carriage passes by before he crosses the street, but he never does. 🫣
by far and away the best Holmes series!!! Never before or since have Sherrlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and Inspector Lestrade found such charming and humorous actors to play themselves! Conan Doyle would have been delighted! Thanks so much for sharing
@ShannonFrengcompletely agree. Brett was far closer to Doyle’s written character and far superior. But the older movies are enjoyable too.
J’ai suis d’accord

I concur that Howard and Crawford were absolutely perfect...
I'm old and I grew up with Rathbone Bruce as the duo, I didn't know of this series but it's pretty good
I’ve seen so many Sherlock Holmes film/tv programmes over the years - but these are by far the best. So entertaining with good humour running through them. Thanks so much for uploading them - have become hooked after coming across them when browsing.
I have to say that I think that these in my opinion are the best Holmes and Watson versions ever
Eugene Dekker's characters are always played so gloriously "over the top". Brilliant!
i think he's just marvelous! wish i could see him in something else, but at least i get to see him in these shows :}
He’s my favorite of their character actors. He’s delightful! And of course, the Case Of Harry Crocker was my favorite of his. That and the Shy Ballerina. A girl could always use such a loyal defender as he was in the latter.
@@feralbluee Did you mean Albert Dekker? Couldn't found anything about Eugene. 🤔
Oh, I just saw the name in the credits: Eugene Dekker, he played Pettyfoot. I'll have to look for him more thoroughly later, because yes, he plays wonderfully!

Ronald Howard and Basil Rathbone were the most human and likable of the Sherlock Holmes'. Peter Cushing was also like this.
My favourite by far , think Ronald Howard is the best Holmes . Love the black and white film .

I want a caped coat like Sherlock wears (constantly) in this series.
@@roderickfemm8799 I hope you do get your Sherlock caped coat.
This one had lots of nice out door scenes. I like how Holmes said that he liked "Greek" plays.
Always a good show, thank you.
How nice to see Watson not being portrayed as a bumbling buffoon. Much more believable
@doctorwho0077 And a excellent swords man I believe .
@doctorwho0077 Yes, there is some buffoonery with this Watson, but nothing like Nigel Bruce. Mr. Bruce's Watson ruins the version with Basil Rathborn for me.
@@a.mariedixon-jenkins agreed
Also, LaStrade gives credit where credit is due and isn't a complete hindrance.
Yeah, Dr Watson was a Veteran of the Afghanistan war of the 1890s. A really tough guy with a punch like Mike Tyson!

@@oceanbrzzz yes we do. Jude Law is my fave Watson.
Brett is a bit too neurotic.
@@oceanbrzzz You miss the point; I didn't say that it couldn't be vaguely entertaining, my point of contention was that it can by no means be described as the "most faithfully filmed adaption" It's Sherlock lite, watered down into the half hour sit-com format, with a very chirpy, cheeky chappy interpretation of Holmes. (Reminds me a bit of Matt Smith go at doing
Dr Who)
@@j.dragon651 see my reply to @Marcia Davis. I thought Mr Downey had a lot of fun playing Holmes & I enjoyed it. Don't mind Cumberbatch either. (They certainly don't try to gloss over the drugs angle!) But for true, classic Holmes, you can't go past Mr Basil Rathbone himself-as long as you ignore those awful "patriotic" wartime movies where you get scenes like where Holmes is exhorting the Lumpenprole & criminal elements of London to unite to fight the Nazi's. Peter Cushing did also a classic, fog drenched Hound of the Baskervilles.
I like these short episodes, but does every fella need a tash?
Yes obviously
ZER0 this series takes place during the Victorian era , that was the fashion back then
ZER0 Most every man had one in those days. How you wore it showed your ‘class’. It was also a milestone for young men. Their entry to manhood.
Sherlock has a smooth upper lip !
Prison hats seem pointless
If they had points it would look like Guy Faukes Day.
I am back in fb jail😇
Ok
If somebody kills somebody who authorizes the next person to kill the person who just killed somebody.
The next person who killed the person who killed the person is a Killer 2 ponder that

Television has made an idiot of Dr Watson, both a physician and author. Pity that.
Watson Nag nag nag , just like a woman.
It's a wonderful episode. However, Pettifoot really is a stupid name! To catch a murderer, Sherlock would create anything. It's good.
Holes🗡 hahahahaha
so, what? they imply Holmes was suicidal? What's with the exploding drink then? What bumbling script writer got away with that.
Not suicidal, but experimental, daring. He did ask Watson to have a stethoscope ready. The exploding was an experiment gone awry. They don’t always go as planned.
I disagree.
What a wonderful stroke of "luck" that Holmes got distracted!!
Possibly his stomach acid would have neutralized something in the beverage :)
Perhaps sadistic, as several has him ask Watson to be the guinea pig. Lol
“Delicate little mouth” - I have a delicate little mouth and I hate it. I think a larger mouth is more attractive.
In the 20s/30s/40s the cute actresses had lipstick only on the middle half of the lips, making their mouth look about one inch wide.
Later: Martha Raye solved that.
Your own jumbo cell and smokable s.
At the beginning of all of these, I keep wondering if that constable will wait until AFTER that carriage passes by before he crosses the street, but he never does. 🫣
