Still A fan of the books and films of the iconic Detective- My Sherlock Holmes I grew up that gave me an image in my mind of Sherlock Holmes is the late actor Jeremy Brett and his cool Doctor Friend who assist him in the cases-late actor as well David Burke as Dr. John Watson🕵️♂️🔍 🎩
Jeremy Brett and David Burke were the best. While i first saw Holmes with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce - that combo really failed in making Dr. Watson a bumbling idiot.
I think Richard E Grant could play an at least very good Sherlock Holmes. Only for beginning, he has a "sherlockian" head and face. Perhaps he has already played Holmes in a play or tv film that is actually unknown to me (I'm peruvian).
An interesting 'documentary" But in all honesty you should see Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in the iconic roles of Holmes & Watson before jumping on to the Jeremy Brett was the greatest Holmes bandwagon. Remembering that Holmes was of the Victorian era, these two superb actors do real justice to their respective characters!
Conan Doyle was a great storyteller, but frankly not much of a novelist. His 4 Holmes books are all over the place in terms of plot -- long digressions and flashbacks, loosely strung together like the series of short stories they really are. It's harly a surprise that no one ever reads "The White Company" nowadays.
A fan of Jeremy Brett (and of the fabulous Richard E Grant), but how on earth didn't the Soviet adaptation merit even a mention among the several non-Granada versions, a background still from it, something? Rather infuriating this.
I apologise - oddly I really did not know about it and no one mentioned it to me in general research. I wish I had known. You are right - we should have included it
@@richarddenton7724 I am so accustomed to my British friends knowing it, that I forget sometimes that I'm a bit of an old-timer, even though not old. Anyway, it was the only fly in a very nice ointment. Be well!
@@TerryWaitesRadiator You are right - but to be honest about him, he is so keen to get it right that he lack spontanaeity - but he is a genuine enthusiast in fact.
@@QHarefield Not sure she did! I think it suggests that it's a rather obious and not very interesting idea - 'pretty common" means that it happens a lot
