    As a 58 year old American, and lifelong fan of Sherlock Holmes...
    Jeremy Brett is the most authentic Holmes I have ever seen portrayed.
    I delighted each week to a new episode when originally broadcast, and I have yet to see a "better" Holmes.
    Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes!!!

    As a 69 years old Scot and life long A C Doyle fan (I was brought up about 100 yards from his birth place) I salute Jeremy Brett as the best ever Sherlock Holmes. I read Doyle and see Brett in my head. I so wish he had been able to finish the canon.

    Basil Rathbone may well have been Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes... but to so many people, Jeremy Brett is the definitive Holmes - no-one else comes close.

    I was always a fan of ACD and Sherlock Holmes. The first time I saw Jeremy's Holmes portrayal back in the 80s, I recognised the Holmes of my imagination come to life. He will always be Holmes to me!

    i cannot express how grateful I am for you posting this rare and valuable interview with Jeremy Brett. I recently saw Granada Production of Sherlock Holmes and saw life being breathed into the greatest detective in the literary world. Having a glimpse of the brilliant man behind the face of Sherlock Holmes was a wonderful treat.
    Thank you so much!

  • @OAleathaO
    @OAleathaO 4 роки тому +29

    We need more actors like this that fight for the accurate portrayal of a writer's material. Granted every story or novel needs _some_ adaptation to bring it to the screen but I think screenwriters and directors sometimes (many times?) take far too many liberties with the material.

    • @TheDoctor1225
      @TheDoctor1225 3 роки тому +4

      I agree 1000% - the newest "imaginings" of Holmes as shown on TV (with a female Watson) or on the BBC or by *shudder* Downey Jr. are about as far from ACD's character as can possibly be imagined.

    @macolleague  14 років тому +15

    @SherlockOnBrain: You are most welcome, and thank you for the insights. David Stuart Davies described Brett as a perfectionist in Bending the Willow; when it came to Holmes and the scripts he insisted on keeping to Doyle's words, not compromise them with unnecessary rewrites...today we can enjoy the results of his tireless efforts.

    Why do the other versions of Holmes have him smoking one of those short curved pipes while here in the true Jeremy Brett version he uses the long stick like pipes?

    • @P.Whitestrake
      @P.Whitestrake 6 років тому +4

      B.A.P. - HANDS UP #비에이피와_허니문 Because the curved pipes are easier to use when the actor is putting the pipe on his mouth while talking. Curved pipes wouldn't wiggle as much. In Brett's case, as far as I remember, he never talk with a pipe in his mouth. He always elegantly put away his pipe first before talking.
