Рет қаралды 393,574
Күн бұрынHailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters. This acclaimed series stars Ronald Howard as the world-famous sleuth and H. Marion Crawford in a different portrayal of Dr. Watson than usual.
THE CASE OF THE ROYAL MURDER: While visiting King Conrad in his Balkan nation, his highness requests Holmes and Watson to prove his innocence when Prince Stephan of a neighboring country dies suddenly at dinner. The circumstantial clues implicate the king, so he has the two tossed into a dungeon cell. Princess Antonia, widow of the prince, attracts suspicion because of her previous love affair with Conrad.

zitternden his characterisation of Holmes is kind and compassionate and not cold like Rathbone and Brett and certainly not as mental as Cumberbatch or Downie. He is so much like his father Leslie who was a much better actor than Clarke Gable in Gone with the Wind. His Scarlet Pimpernel is fabulous. Ronald took after him for sure both in looks and ability.

Thank you for these series. Ronald Howard is very good as Sherlock, however character of Watson is very different from the original and he is like a chameleon changing from very smart to very dumb, from very cautious to head on charging into something...inconsistency which is goofy, unless movie makers were going for that effect. Gypsy in this particular episode is a very poor dancer, she should have stuck to the palm-reading ;)
@crazyduck1254 2 жыл бұрын
Dr Watson has seen the horrors of war in afghanistan as a medical war doctor and we would expect this character to be very affected by trauma, a bit erratic at times at the least to be expected.
@nooboftheyear7170 Жыл бұрын
The goofiness stems from cultural 'triggers' being emphasised in the screenplay. Watson is retired and bumbling, therefore automatically cautious about the unknown but charges in around familiar contexts and themes. A great way to educate children as to polite mannerisms. Note ep30, the eiffel tower, where watson keeps insisting that holmes introduce him. Holmes actually charges straight in at every introduction and is then pulled up by watson each time and then introduces watson.

CPR wasn’t invented before 1956, so they had no idea what to do. And I’m sure they had no precedence on how to treat forensic evidence either. Finger prints, shoe print and blood types was the only thing to be analyzed way into the 20th century.

Ron Howard's portrayal of Holmes was childish immature and boyish. In contrast Rathbone will always be remembered as the real DEFINITIVE Sherlock Holmes the master actor The Hollywood Golden age films rather than this poor 1950s Low grade TV version! There can only be one real quality Holmes and that's Basil Rathbone just as Johnny Weissmuller wiil always be the REAL Tarzan, Peter Falk the REAL Columbo and David Janssen as the REAL Fugitive! The Original players are ALWAYS the BEST!!
