Love from an Indian diehard Sherlock fan! Enjoying the whole Ronald Howard series a lot! I used to play role of Sherlock in college drama fest. They used to cast me as Sherlock I resemble Holmes a lot by look! It was real fun time!
A very good episode of "Sherlock Holmes" with Ronald Howard and H. Marion Crawford. This 60 plus year old series holds up very well in plot, pacing, and acting. It is worth viewing.
I have watched all of these over and over again every night going to bed for over a year, maybe even two now, I have lost count, but no matter what else I watch always come back to these as I find they are almost all I like, more of a human Holmes, less the calculating machine with no feelings as played in most versions, with a realistic, likable humanist Watson, with comic lines in most, from Sargent Wilkins in the police as well, even Inspector Lestrade has his moments, yet he still can't see it as Holmes does. These are my favorite version of the great pairing, even though I like all versions, even the comic parodies, and the newest with Jude Law as Watson and Robert Downey JR as Holmes, which in a way are more like this version than they know. So thank you Pizzafix, this is my fix to get over my life's troubles every night. keep up the great work. Take care everyone, look after each other and the animals and the planet they all that we really have.
Absolutely mesmerizing theme music! Best amongst so many Sherlock Holmes series! Even better than the one of Granada TV, which is the most authentic Sherlock Holmes series ever!
I love both series. This one is more Sherlock at the beginnings of his career, developing his forensics and using his already existing analytic skills. The Granada series with the late, great, beloved Jeremy Brett and his two wonderful Dr Watson’s, is more about the established consultant detective. Also has more of the quirks, costumes and adventures.
Thanks to PizzaFlix, I'm quite enjoying this lockdown! Alone with my cat at home, watching the greatest detective ever and I must say, I prefer watching Dr.Watson than reading about him! He's amusing!🍻
I'm 26 and I fully agree. My father was the one to expose me to Sherlock Holmes and we used to watch this series as a family when I was growing up. Watching them now fills me with a sense of comforting nostalgia.
@@jackiemarini3203 I watched them with my dad too, and I'm 26. It helps me remember all the good times we had. He gave me an anthology of all the Sherlock Holmes mysteries when I was a kid, and I devoured them.
I love this series. I do have to admit though the ending made me laugh - there’s a dead man on the floor, and they’re playing with marionettes and cracking jokes!
THe "dead man" only a deadly, gory killer...Of course such a character with a terrible soul leaving its bodily instrument, thus being able to do no more harm, would leave everybody else especially all the good people, to feel relieved. I'd be laughing and marionettes here is a symbolism or way of dealing with gore, like therapy....so the trauma and tension wouldn't get to the old gentleman judge and his good, elderly wife as well...what calls for more therapy or good feeling and way of relieving stress and focusing on good and detaching the mind from the negative or bad with such marionettes than this ere dangerous scuffle and drastically, otherwise mind numbing terrifying event. We'd be shocked, but here are the people (Sherlock, Watson, Lestrade, the judge and ) who deal with such things and criminals and death everyday, and know that it is only a breath of relief and the greater good and favour to society at the dying of such monsters. The soul is immortal and never really dies so to speak. If they're only using their human form to hurt or harm, corrupt and spread terror, what good is it? Their reactions are perfectly normal and a complete given, in that sense. Those marionettes are also like the children of the kind, elderly judge and his good wife. Laughing, joking and dealing with stress by way of marionettes is what they are doing and rightly deserved after all the ordeal. So would I as well, in fact.
Being a cab driver in those days must have been very cold and wet on inclement days. Love this series, the rapport between Holmes and Watson is marvellous. Holmes isn’t the dark, addicted, troubled soul the books portray him. Usually I don’t like it when they deviate from the book but this series is delightful.
Me too! Everyone is always on about Basil Rathbone being the best Holmes but I really find his portrayal to be over the top arrogant and condescending to Holmes. This representation is much more how they are in my mind.....yes Holmes is arrogant but not mean, and there's a touch of dry humor. Love them!
@@cathyroberts1148 i so agree...w with all of it.. i even commented on one film that it is really not necessary to cômpare to rathbone or brett anymore as it has been done a million boring times on every vid !
First time I've seen this version of Sherlock Holmes hailed as the most faithful adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's characters, although I am enjoying the series; thanks for the UL.
Ronald Howard sports The Best Sherlock disguises Ever. Watson showing his flirty side getting one for the team on that address drop. And the puppeteering judge and so loving wife - Perfect. My A#1 Sherlock Holmes Fav 💯
21:11 "I never seize to marvel at the duplicity of human nature." Hence, people being used as puppets for the benefit of others, till this very day and always will be. Being used by puppeteers!
Guess what? I am still here, still watching these (I laugh to myself). Haven't times quickly changed though? (with no laugh!) And sadly not for the better or greater good!
That feeling when you’re running for your life but then realize you don’t have any pants on. Polite society outside laughs at you, their quaintly gloved hands rising to cover their delicate lips! Where is the nearest corner that I may cower in despair before my would be captors!!!
@@commonground5214 A good question my dear chap! I was commenting on the scene that starts at 15:00, trying to understand it. I am still not sure I've really gotten it, but my assumption is that she ran out without being dressed properly and then felt bad for it when Society reacted.
@@catpyjamas she is modeling beach attire in the fashion show, rather risqué for the time (note that Dr Watson points out how “daring” the outfit is) …the equivalent of a revealing bikini… so for the model, it was like realizing she had run out into the street in her underwear!😊
@@chrisberry9017 yes i hate his portrayal or rather the writing of watson as a complete idiot he could never have made it as a Dr even back in the 1880's he has no common sense and asks the dumbest of questions. Now to me there is so little difference in how Rathbone and Ronald Howard played Holmes that i barely notice when its one or the other. but the Watson actor makes a huge difference. Now crawford's watson is at least believable as a doctor and as someone who could be a companion for Holmes. He at least notices things that Holmes doesn't and asks intelligent questions, where as Bruce was mostly just a dupe for holmes someone to dig holes etc almost like that friend no one really likes in a group of guys that you get to do the dangerous stuff so no one you care about gets hurt? that guy is nigel bruce's watson only dumber!
Well, 70 years ago, people didn't need to lock their houses or their cars, so I assume that would pertain to shops as well. If people were more moral 70 years ago, why not 120 years ago?
My guess is that he hid somewhere in the house without leaving - but then it's a bit strange that the maid didn't see him all the way out of the house, where the guard would see him leave and then not let him back in. 🤷♂
The plots are grim, but the acting is fine. What a shame. These simple stories could have been so much better, even produced at minimal cost, as these must have been.
Apologies, Holmes, but Carson didn't do much of a job in describing himself. He gestured regarding a guy three inches shorter than himself, and thin face and seedy looking could describe Holmes himself. And the retired judge and his wife, what is this, a death wish? Idle threats by condemned men or those heading off to life in prison are to be conflated with those made by an escaped prisoner just proven to be hunting him down? But yes, I too love these.
Now I have seen many of this Sherlock Homes movies. All are exciting but some are a bit out of date. Now to a question, was Ronald Howard related to one of my big favourites Leslie Howard? They are very look alike.
How did the guy have the time and opportunity to tie and gag the housemaid with the judge apparently free to act? When Holmes and the others arrived back, the maid was in another room tied, while the perpetrator was busy trying to choke the judge who was not tied or otherwise restricted... That must be a helluva thug :)
It's a bit daring Watson says, can you imagine that's a women's bathing suit, daring,lol, I'd love to see the look on their faces if they saw what women wear at the beach today.
I doubt very much if men would have been present at a ladies' fashion show, especially one featuring bathing costumes. Simply not the thing in Holmes' time.
favorite version Jeremy brett and David burke. this version has grown on me the other two are the bbc version tv series with benedict Cumberbatch and martin freeman and the movies with Jude law and Robert downey. I love Sherlock holmes and have seen all versions but most just have to mess up the Watson making him too dimwitted and/or lethargic. even though would replace Cumberbatch with the American version elementary johnny lee miller.

Did anyone notice that they all left the Antique shop without locking it up? Couldn't do that today in 2022 🤣🤣
the Inspector looks a lot like one of the actors on "Anchorman". Thank You Pizza Fix., I love this series! :-)
Whammy!
I am not crazy about these actors as Holmes and Watson - grew up with Rathbone and Nigel Bruce acting the parts - but appreciate this series now.
I love them too, but get irritated by Dr. Watson being portrayed as such a buffoon on occasion.
@@chrisberry9017 yes i hate his portrayal or rather the writing of watson as a complete idiot he could never have made it as a Dr even back in the 1880's he has no common sense and asks the dumbest of questions.

😮boo, can't have too much Holmes and Watson. Whatever the iteration. 😊
" Come, Watson! The game's afoot"!!
my favorite detective
Wow 😯 the murderer was really slow at doing his job
notice at 13:30 holmes watson and the detective leave the book shop and Holmes dosent lock up! 😳😳🤦♀️🤦♀️🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎🔎😂😂😂
