I love these old productions. They're like watching a stage play.

Peter Cushing is such an underrated actor no matter the role. He is great!

I like Jeremy Brett as Sherlock... I have watch almost all his episodes... But I like Sherlock Holmes that it doesn't matter who plays as Sherlock, as long as it does justice to the role.

Anything with Peter Cushing in it is worth watching, add Sherlock Holmes stories & u have a match made in heaven. I remember him from his many appearances on the Morecambe & Wise show. He obviously had a great sense of humour as well as being a brilliant actor.

Peter Cushing is definitely an underated Sherlock Holmes. It's also depressing that due to the BBC recycling the original footage, some of Cushing episodes are gone forever, similar to lost classic Dr Who episodes.

I love the way this was filmed...it's like watching a live play. Thank you for sharing!

All the stars who portrayed the actor Holmes, and yes even those who delighted us with watsons sometimes naive and whimsical charm. helped to bring these delightful characters that we all love, to life. yes! I have my favorites. I admit. But so do you all. I am only going to say...Bravo to every one of them.

Thanks for the upload, I love these 🙂.

I love Sherlock Holmes. And I Love Peter Cushing. Thank you so much fot the upload. 🤗⚘⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘

Thanks so much for posting this. Always loved Peter Cushing.

I'm surprised at so many negative comments here. As a fan since childhood of the stories, of Brett's interpretation, and Cumberbatch's too, I am very impressed with Cushing's Holmes, having seen this and the Blue Carbuncle. I'm surprised, because Cushing all but disowned his performance. He said he didn't have enough time to prepare, the productions were so low budget and hurried, and therefore he felt he wasn't at his best. Well, his second best is still very good, IMO. I'm glad we have these and grateful to find them on KZfaq.

Peter Cushing what a star.😀

Peter Cushing always so watcheable ..... prvious to this he was Holmes in a TV series around 1965 ..... Grand Moff Tarken his most well known character, he was perfect in that Star Wars role.

Great rendition and excellent actors! A fun Watson and Holmes mystery. The man playing Jefferson Hope was great also!

One other thing I never really see discussed in any Holmes conversations - I have the complete Sherlock Holmes stories from the Collectors Library and not ONCE is he described as wearing a Deerstalker hat or a Tweed overcoat. And he ALWAYS smoked a black clay pipe, never a Meerschaum Calabosh. So, we have to thank the movie industry for making up an appearance that never was...

One of the best renditions of the stories I've seen. I wasn't at all familiar with this before, having grown up in the States.

Peter Cushing certainly did a first rate job as Sherlock Holmes. He was a great Thespian, and it's a shame some of his episodes are now gone.

💕 all of them. With Cushing the one with the music boxes my favorite.

Nigel's expression when he is feeling inferior to Sherlocks intelligence is fantastic! 17:23

RIP Peter Cushing

can't beat the horror classics .still holds your attention

I love Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes.

Both Brett and Cushing were phenomenal. Oddly my favourite Holmes was Christopher Lee

This Dr. Watson is a few steps up the ladder from the older ones. Brett had the best Dr. Watson, and he was also very good at other roles. Thanks for sharing a clear, good sounding version,,,enjoyable.

Ed Bishop , great actor and of voice actor too. Buried at Napton Warks. Not that far from me , I must visit his grave at some point. His voice work was part of my childhood " Captain Scarlet" to name but one.

I loved peter Cushings films!!! he was always so serious, no one could beat his acting!

The actor cast as the murderer is quite good.

Another sanitized adaptation of A Study In Scarlet. In the original story the villains are Mormans who chased the man and woman who tried to flee the church in Utah. She died and her lover pursued the men he blamed for her death.

Edina Ronay who plays Alice Chapentier in this teleplay portayed Mary Kelly in the Sherlock Holmes film A STUDY IN TERROR.

Thanks .

Wonderful. Thank you.

37:08 Light the Bunsen burner and then relight your pipe with the same match. Fucking cool.

Mr. Cushing is one of my favorite suspense British actors he could play a wide range of characters I think he should be knighted or should have been knighted. 👍

Thank you for the upload.

Thank you for uploading.

0:19 The corpse breaths comfortably.

They completely omitted the Mormon narrative that was in the actual story.

Taking notes on his cuff with a ball point pen 😂

Excellent!

lol Watson standing with the newspaper hiding his revolver

Peter Cushing and Nigel stock provide high quality entertainment in their portrayal of Holmes and Watson in this interesting murder mystery .

Cushing was a FINE Sherlock Holmes!!!!

OH THANK U THANK U THANK UUUU SO MUCH!!!😍

Cushing fans probably have already found the Peter Cushing version (BBC) of "1984", co-starring Donald Pleasence and Andre Morrell (!). But new Cushing fans ought to scope it out.

This version of the Study in Scarlet follows the original story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle almost to the letter. The epilogue in the jail was one of the additions not in the story. Peter Cushing plays a masterful Sherlock Holmes.

The film and sets remind me of the original Dark Shadows.........

excellent...ta very much.

Love this...

Super like..Mr.holmes

I enjoy Ronald Howard as Sherlock Holmes... it can be found on youtube... Brett and Rathbone were also entertaining... each bringing their own brand of uniqueness to the character, jmo

I do like this episode. Cushing is still the best Holmes, after Basil Rathbone, in my view. The plot is quite absurd, but the first scene with Holmes and Watson debating the anonymous newspaper article is worth watching again and again. Some good actors even in minor roles, Ed Bishop for one, and glamorous Edina Ronay, who gave up acting and became a fashion designer, just like Anoushka Hempel, who also appeared in Hammer film.

Great

Δεν έχω δει αυτήν την σειρά να προβαλλεται στην Ελλάδα κρίμα υπέροχος και αξέχαστος Πίτερ κουσιγκ❤

It is among the better interpretations of `A Study In Scarlet´, and of course #PeterCushing delivered!

Jeremy Brett nails the personality, mannerisms, and overall cocky behavior of Sherlock Holmes. His smiles and mannerisms are just so Sherlock.

He was great too, my favorite is the great Mouse Detective 🤣👍

this story is heartbreacking

Brett is Holmes!

Awesome

Beginning at 4:20 that is the same scene that is in the David Lynch movie Mulholland Drive when Naomi Watts is auditioning. The lines are not exactly duplicated but pretty darn close.

great video

A Study in Scarlet is a problematic story to bring to the screen because more than half of it doesn't involve Watson and Holmes at all, takes place in the US, and honestly is a rather ineffective pulp story. However, the novel does contain the first meeting of Holmes and Watson, both in their mid- to late 20s at the time. That makes it difficult to cast the "traditional", older Holmes-Watson duo (like the one here); the alternative is that you skip that first meeting, thereby cutting out what is really the best part of the novel. Which is what happens here; the most crucial part is missing and Cushing's achievement notwithstanding everyone, including Hope, is at least 20 years too old in this film.

Peter Cushing's handsome dose of finesse and subtlety in his Holmes portrayal makes for a very good rendering of the character but it pushes it gently yet sensibly off the Doyle's Holmes standard which is why he's ranked , in my opinion, the third best Holmes after Rathbone(the best of all time) and Bret (second best ).

Always good to see American actor Ed Bishop from UFO.

Very good Holmes, like a stage play

I had to chuckle as the episode started as the dead young lady in the coffin was clearly breathing, and quite heavily also!

Another excellent movie from the 20th century based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work.

I've been a fan of Jeremy Brett for ages and stumbled upon this looking for something to watch. Peter Cushing, in my opinion, is a really good Holmes! I also really enjoy Nigel's Watson. The production quality isn't great here, and some of the actors are honestly bad (I couldn't tell if the girl wanted to actually go with the man who was trying to abduct her or not. She seemed to enjoy it which was bizarre), but Peter and Nigel still deliver. I feel like the relationship between these portrayals of Holmes and Watson isn't as developed as in the Granada series- the camaraderie of old friends isn't fully there. They DO come across more like roommates, which is fine. I feel like the Granada series was just more dynamic and allowed itself to be fun in a way that a lot of film adaptations of Holmes doesn't allow for. Again, with all this being said, I get a great deal of enjoyment out of these films. I can see, especially in wardrobe and set design, what the people at Granada were influenced and inspired by.

Best ever Sherlock Holmes was Douglas Wilmer!!!!!!!!❤❤❤1964-5:

Awesome.

Jeremy Brett is the quintessential Holmes; Peter Cushing is also a great actor but didnt grasp the pure gold that Brett did. Peter Cushing's interpretation is akin to Basil Rathbones dry crackle at this role. Its difficult to describe why this rendition is hard to compare to Bretts only because the time it was shot. This is a 1968 movie/show I believe what has made Bretts better was the time is was shot in.

Enjoyable, low budget teleplay...I like Peter Cushing in the role of Holmes (can't speak for the other guy as Watson...he was okay). Yes, excellent vintage 1968 British t.v. production!

Thanks 😊

Notice how the show itself is videotaped, but the opening title sequence is shot on film. The British so often did that sort of thing back in the 60's and 70's.

I like Mr. Cushing very much - but Jeremy Brett is THE Sherlock Holmes. No one compares to him in this role.

Great!! 😊 They don't make movies like they use to do

I personally do not like Peter Cushings as Holmes at all, but Watson is great in this series. Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes and always will be. Basil Rathbone was, if you look at the time period, very very good. Legendary. Watson played by Nigel Bruce was different and you should forget about the "real" Watson from the books and then you will like him. I do love him now. He make it lighter and balanced. Very funny guy. Again, it was during world war two and if you look back its amazing what they did. I also like Ian Richardson as Holmes but even better as Doctor Bell in the Murder Rooms series....

"you may fayar when reddeh, watson"

Its good..but lacks the back round music of a classic hammer production..suspense etc....

Basil Rathbone was the best Sherlock Holmes.

Execution is a euphemism. Murder is murder.

Superb acting all around. Terrible screen play. It's like the writers never read Doyle's work. Was a fun flick, however. Thanks for posting.

The great Ed Bishop - 2001: A Space Odyssey and the sf tv series UFO.

The footsteps are louder than the voices, did the sound man have the mics all placed on the floor? 😂

A brief comment on the different styles of the actors playing Holmes. The differences in the way Brett and Cushing play Holmes are not absolute. Yes, Cushing plays the quintessential English gentleman, however if you examine the subtleties of the mannerisms there are similarities. They both describe the mannerisms of the academic / intellectual, with genius level intellect, moreover Brett's Holmes more accurately displays the manic depressive tendencies that Holmes was prone to. Anyone who has spent time in the presence of artistic geniuses will recognize these characteristics in the way Brett played Holmes. Therefore Jeremy Brett's portrayal is more likely the accurate, however I enjoy them all in different ways.

in my opinion, the '60s is best decade of t.v.

Peter Cushing can play a rock and be excellent

She's breathing! You can still save her!

why didnt they film everything this way? it is so clear and sharp, much better than movies which are sort of blurry.

Needed one final scene where Gragson and Lestrade are given credit in the papers for the solution of the murder and Holmes is shortchanged. Watson becomes incensed that Holmes should get credit and decides to write up the case and set the story straight. Holmes being fairly modest demures

And "What did you do, after you had made certain that you had made certain of nothing...?"

Marvellous! Do you have the other episodes?

I just KNEW Cushing had to have been Holmes. How could they not? Still looking for the worst Holmes ever. Charlton Heston in Hound, BBC.

This is better than the book. The Morman story, which takes up half the book, is way too long. This film sums up the motive perfectly. It improves the work of Arthur Conan Doyle. Bravo. The offensive Mormon story in the second half of the book raises pertinent, unanswered questions. If Drebber just wanted the land, why not let John Ferrier and Lucy leave the Mormon settlement? If Drebber was a Mormon, where are his other wives? How did Drebber and Stangerson turn into drunks when Mormons don't drink alcohol? Where is Stangerson's wife? Why would so many in this religious community go out of their way to help reprobates like Drebber and Stangerson?

Peter Cushing in his 50's could catch the taxi but not the young navy sailor? Okay

The problem with Rathbone's Sherlock is although they started excellently with what would have likely been a standard progression of filming of the canon it was disturbed by the war ... so the studio thought Sherlock needed to fight the nazis ...

This is Grand Moff Tarkin!

When the show starts , Homes is setting down at the table , Then gets up and lights his pipe , And it look like a smoke stack on a Train. LOL.

Doctor Holmes

The set people have moved the flat door from right to left. It was never before beside the two windows that was always a floor to ceiling bookcase to match the ipposite side of the windows 😂 l notice decor 😄
