It's a crime that Lee isn't more famous. He's one of the best actors in the world. I've been following him since Oz. He must've pissed someone off, because he should be playing the lead in major movies instead of playing bit parts like he always does.
is there a recording of his singing in My Fair Lady before they horribly dubbed him? Unbelievable. He is such a good and expressive singer on 'Merry Widow'.
The most productive work of the world ,only by Hollyeood and those Highly incredible.intelligent men Of that time never find at at the moments only those quick meal Production on line which distributed Globally nowadays
Every time I see Jeremy Brett, I feel as if he still alive, this brilliant Man will never be forgotten, he is evergreen, he will be forever loved and remembered as one of the greatest man ever ❤️❤️, thank you JB for you legacy ❤️❤️
So sad that Jeremy Brett passed away in 1995 at the young age of 61. If he was with us today, he’d be 87, which is not unheard of an age these days . A great talent, sorely missed .
He had a severe heart condition long before he had bi-polar. It was the medication for this heart condition that caused him to gain weight in the later episodes of Sherlock Holmes.
R.I.P. TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS, & CERTAINLY THE BEST PERSON WHO EVER HAPPENED TO TELEVISION, NOT PATRONISING, I TRUELY MEAN IT! THANKS FOR SHARING< NEVER SEEN THIS, LOVE IT
@Lessons2005 All I have to say is... you're not alone! I noticed it too. Yet if there is any injury he seemed to have been mostly unaffected. He moved like a dancer most of the time. In his biographies I always expected to see more music and dancing in his background. One of the most beautiful men who ever lived!
never found those four minutes on my copy of my 2-dvd edition. Is it from a 1994 -edition or in 2004? I could not find it anywhere!!! Is there more to it??
Was there ever an artist so unrecognized by the powers that be? First they stupidly dub over his own beautiful and rich voice in My Fair Lady, then Hollywood let him slip thru their fingers.
Well yes, but the sad fact is that he was a baritone and they wanted a tenor singing the role of Freddy. That's why they dubbed over him and not because he didn't have a good singing voice. It's just one of those things.
Even though I recently found out that Jeremey could sing, I was ticked and extremly disappointed that they dubbed over him. Dubbing is wrong, unless, of course, if the actor can't sing, then its okay. They should never have dubbed him.
It was nothing short of criminal that they dubbed the singing in this film, especially as Jeremy had such a rich and superb singing voice! He was a real treasure, both as an incredibly talented actor, and as a man!
What bugs me more than anything though, is that OTSWYL is my most favorite song out of the whole musical, and I KNOW JB could have sung it better. Bill Shirley has a technically strong voice but I find him not very musical at all. I can imagine in my own head a version much more musical and sensitive, and it's a small step from that to imagining JB singing it. Sorry for my rant. . .I just can't stand it!!! Argh, and dear Jeremy, such a lovely and humble person, kept it to himself for 30 years.
It's even more of a crime for Jeremy though, because it wasn't just that he had a good voice and could sing---he was trained in the choir for years and he sang professionally! It makes absolutely no sense for him to be dubbed. With Audrey it's more understandable, because she is the lead and has such a huge part, and I don't think she had really sung before. I'm just permanently upset about Jeremy though.
