This is my favorite version of Sherlock Holmes. I cannot believe directors, in his day, said Ronald lacked “star quality.” The man keeps folks watching this series because he is so natural in the role.
Such a relief to see Watson's character portrayed as (I believe) Sir Arthur intended, not the fumbling, bumbling fool that some alleged directors believe he should be, after all, the gentleman was a decorated war hero and highly skilled Doctor, with apologies to the purists amongst us I also thought that Jude Law did an admirable effort himself too. Thank you for uploading.
Agree entirely. Crawford's portrayal is far better than that of Nigel Bruce. That Watson makes you wonder how he ever passed medical school. Anything out of the ordinary is completely impossible and incomprehensible. Holmes proposes a novel idea and is immediately pronounced "mad." And Jude Law was amazing. Much closer to what Doyle obviously intended.
I know Ive commented before, perhaps not here, but I love all the cast! I think everyone was perfect for their parts n it looks like they all had so much fun making this series. I also love that some got to play other roles on here as well. Terrific show.
I bought this whole series in the $5 bin at Walmart back when I was going through a divorce. I also bought the whole Alfred Hitchcock series. Good binge watching when you're going through a bad time.
Your so right i had the very same experience i bought them the same way and wathed them all while suffering through a rough time they still help me to relax and i love them for that
I hope that life is improving for you, and that despite all the chaos of the world, that you can find a happy place. Hugs...a social distance one of course!! :] x
I love this show. It's so fun to get the short cases under an hour each. I like the characterizations here, and I agree with the other poster, much better to see Watson closer to the way he was intended.
I just discovered Ronald Howard was the son of Leslie Howard. I can imagine it was very difficult for him to overcome people's assumptions about him and become an actor. Mr. Howard, you made the right decision. You were your own man blessed with many gifts , as good your father.
The Sherlock Holmes character, along with Dr. Watson, are two of the most difficult characters to portray as actors. This one comes up to the top of the heap as being portrayed in an excellent fashion. The other portrayals are good, but between Ronald Howard and Basil Rathbone, this one is of the higher class. Thank you for providing this.
And he does an especially good job with the 30 min. of actual screenplay in the story too-- compared to the 2 hour versions and the time those actors had to work with.
Ronald Howard is a gift to the character. Marion is excellent, intelligent and very human and witty. There is so much chemistry here between them. Basil and Bruce are great but Basil is rash and treats Bruce like a bumbling fool which is too often how Bruce as Watson actually does portray making Bruce look stupid. Jeremy Brent is like a military man, snapping to and rashly charging off into the blue on a whim of investigation. I like Brent a lot, but his Watson seems to be upstaged often which takes away from the "partnership" the two men can be better appreciated if the partnership, Holmes as the logic and insight and Watson following on with medical musings and his input in that area. In this version Watson is more equal and cast as a role appropriate of his professional abilities, not a bumbling boob as other versions often do. Thanks for the posting I really enjoy these.

So nice to see a Sherlock Holmes who is relaxed and enjoying his work, instead of a neurotic mess! I'd rather watch this series than the ones where he's brooding, angry, sarcastic and contemptuous. Can't say I like the way Dr. Watson is portrayed--like a straight man in a comedy act--but at least he's not a bumbling oaf! Also, the music is pleasant.
I like to watch Ronald Howard is very nice old tv show remember when I grow up with my elderly grandparents we watch black and white tv.The good old days,
Seems to me the episodes (such as the first here) written/directed by Sheldon Reynolds were the best of the 39 episodes. I also think, and others below concur, that Ronald Howard was born to be Holmes and, had he found a starring role in the '60s, e.g. Simon Templar, he might have attained 'A' picture status, with his evident humour, suaveté and good looks. It can't be easy to live in the shadow of a strikingly similar-looking actor father.
I love the way they speak. Especially the policeman pronouncing he’s r’s but after a little while he drops his r’s. It’s so very English of old. I love it & the telegram boy. Totally award winning 🏆
I have to say that just as Sean Connery is to Rodger Moore is Basil Rathbone to Ronald Howard. Just as I think Sean Connery is the quintessential James Bond. Basil Rathbone is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes
@@lauravalancy2521 I still love Dad and son - both natural actors. I watched R.H. in this series during summer- recesses in the late fifties. This Sherlock and Watson are lauded as the truest interpretation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work.
Joanie 345 Yes - he’s the modest, efficient, unquestioning, soul on whom the world depends! It is not as good but if you know the early black and white series ‘Burke’s Law’ - he transforms into the police lieutenant ‘Tim’ - with a touch of Batman’s ‘Robin’ besides!
I always watched the Basil Rathbone Sherlock ones and he is my favorite however and always will be I think he is the true essence of Sherlock.. bit I think that series is ruined by how Watson is made to be a complete bumbling idiot..I mean he is supposed to be a Dr he couldn't have been that dumb..., I stumbled across these and...overall I think these are my favorite because I love Ronald as Sherlock and I love how competent Watson is in this series! And not a complete idiot. Love love this series they make the perfect team!
Indeed. I never understood why they depicted Watson like that. Not exactly credible that Holmes would be friends with a fool. In these series, Holmes speaks of Watson very adamantly, you can tell they are friends.
I found the DVD ,all the I think 39 episodes ...I e joyed the writing , and was very very delighted lost the DVD? But on WiFi ....I too think the pair are superb and the quality of the show is surprisingly not just good but extremely good !! How ,did I not have known ,heard I enjoy them and can watch them muchly!over again like ......quality!!/!//pass on to one and all!!
Basil Rathbone's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is also my favorite. H. Marion Crawford's portrayal of Dr. Watson was more to the original story of Sherlock Holmes.
it was bugging me so I went back and checked 5 different people , that has uploaded in this particular video/ episode and I found ( free domain ) and the orchestra composition on all of The Originals but that music you're using is completely different Orchestra composition. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° but that's okay everyone has their own prerogative
THAT is what they called "the GRIP" when you look at credits- -they didn't have that perfected then-- camear agjustments were not automatic-and it's an optial effect caused by keeping the actors in focus as they moved against the backgound- or wanted to change the scene.
@@davidcarter6475 Thank you very much for elucidating; I'd never seen such visual distortions before, and had concluded the film was somehow warped with age (like myself). And now that you've mentioned it, I remember seeing "Key Grip" in credits, as a child, and imagined it involved baggage handling! Live and learn, right?
@@deborahb4830 It's a fault during conversion, stabilisation not engaged during transfer, one either compensates clarity with background distortion/wobble or less clarity but stable background, whoever converted the footage chose clarity
I agree!! Watching it makes me feel kinda wonky ... especially during the episode 'the Belligerent Ghost' it's really annoying. *Just wondering now if they think it is some clever thing, so we feel like it's ghostly?
70 years old....WTF do you expect. Celebrate it. Do not decry it. You clearly are useless eaters, as Kissenger would say. Expect everything and deserve nothing.
Unfortunately, this video is one of many that was subjected to TH-cam's wonky warp stabilization routine (thankfully TH-cam stopped offering it because it was crap). It makes the picture bloom and distort when there is a lot of movement in the frames. Unwatchable. Too bad.
The Texas Cowgirl is my favorite episode. I LOVE the way she talks. I know its not great acting but something about her i love. Lol! She's actually an incredibly beautiful woman. There's many many beautiful women in this series.
Because many uploaders have no idea how to upload properly and activate the anti-shake function which is thought for handheld footage. But since there no shake here the function tries to compensate what's not there, hence the horrible effect.
Q Are they related - Leslie, Trevor and Ronald Howard? A British actor Ronald Jennifer Hunter. I didn't keep searching, but I found this on the internet. "Howard, 71, who appeared in American TV's Sherlock Holmes series in the mid-1950s, is the son of the late film star Leslie Howard (Gone With the Wind). He is not to be confused with American actor, producer and director Ron Howard. Aug 26, 1989."
Son of Leslie Howard, who got shot down by Nazi rats on a commercial flight in WWII. Leslie did some good propaganda against those Nazi scum before they got him.
This show is a treasure. Although i liked basil rathbone and nigel bruce. Ronald howard and marion crawford bring a more human version of the characters. I also liked Archie Duncan's version of Inspector lastrade.
The most soothing Sherlock Holmes portrayal. No air, no rashness. Just simple naturalness.
Just a massive dose of racism and a deplorable script.
@@jmp01a24 "I am a man of peace" - Slutt å ta heroin og morfin. Det får deg til å trolle.
Pretty darn good show. The best thing about Holmes stories and plots is the use of logic and psychology, Dog knows we need more of that these days.
It should be based on the books, not fiction writers. Sherlock was a full blood Apache and we do not see him high on peyote in a single frame. Crap.
This is my favorite version of Sherlock Holmes. I cannot believe directors, in his day, said Ronald lacked “star quality.” The man keeps folks watching this series because he is so natural in the role.
JustAThought he was the best
Robert??
David Carter, Oops! Thanks!😉!👍👍👍
I agree but i think marion crawfords doctor watson is maybe the best ive ever watched loved his character of doctor john watson
@@JustAThought155 ttcyvh7uu
I sure do…love…these stories! 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you 😉👍👍
I can watch ron Howard for hours he's exquisite

@@michaelpthompson YES-- I think he and the JUDE Law version were both REALISTIC to Doyles intentions.
You are so right, as I've expressed myself on other channels. Thanks for your comments about Watson! 👏👍👍
I like that this Sherlock Holmes showed Dr. Watson respect and treated him like an equal.
Quite so my friend….quite so 😉
Unreal how much Roland Howard looks like his father, Leslie Howard. Uncanny and remarkable!
I enjoy watching Sherlock Holmes it gives great pleasure to watch these episodes before bed quite relaxing and clean
Thanks enjoyed the restorations of Sherlock Holmes wish there was more thanks for putting them
I know Ive commented before, perhaps not here, but I love all the cast! I think everyone was perfect for their parts n it looks like they all had so much fun making this series. I also love that some got to play other roles on here as well. Terrific show.
I bought this whole series in the $5 bin at Walmart back when I was going through a divorce. I also bought the whole Alfred Hitchcock series. Good binge watching when you're going through a bad time.
Your so right i had the very same experience i bought them the same way and wathed them all while suffering through a rough time they still help me to relax and i love them for that
Absolutely true!! Best to watch Sherlock Homes in worst phase of one's life.
I hope that life is improving for you, and that despite all the chaos of the world, that you can find a happy place. Hugs...a social distance one of course!! :] x
Same here. Great to watch in dark times.
Easy on the brain :)
I love this show. It's so fun to get the short cases under an hour each. I like the characterizations here, and I agree with the other poster, much better to see Watson closer to the way he was intended.
I LOVE THESE CLASSIC HOLMES shows and I wish that I wish that they would make modern versions of these for the modern audience.
I just discovered Ronald Howard was the son of Leslie Howard. I can imagine it was very difficult for him to overcome people's assumptions about him and become an actor. Mr. Howard, you made the right decision. You were your own man blessed with many gifts , as good your father.
I didn't know that thanks for the info, I always liked Leslie Howard, I didn't know he died in the war till I did some checking on them all.
.
I did not know that, how interesting.
Very handsome to
I love this characterization of Holmes he's so quirky and energetic I just have to love him 😂💖💖
These 2 are perfect together!! Love it
A very relaxed Sherlock. A pleasure to watch😀
Surprising since he did cocaine lol.
Definitely a delightful package of shorts!
They make a really good duo, hard to say who fits the parts the best, each equally great.
The Sherlock Holmes character, along with Dr. Watson, are two of the most difficult characters to portray as actors. This one comes up to the top of the heap as being portrayed in an excellent fashion. The other portrayals are good, but between Ronald Howard and Basil Rathbone, this one is of the higher class. Thank you for providing this.
Howard's version of Holmes is so effortless and natural.
And he does an especially good job with the 30 min. of actual screenplay in the story too-- compared to the 2 hour versions and the time those actors had to work with.

I say. He’s a chip off the ole block.
Traduction en français, merci
Watson became Sherlock Family, best friend and body guard:) and it was both ways a friendship everyone asks for:)
Love the black and white classics. Especially Sherlock!
Just pure unadulterated joy
AH!! LESLIE HOWARDS -- SON -- RONALD HOWARD . LOOKS LIKE HIS DAD !!! R.I.P. TO BOTH FATHER & SON. BLESS THEM. FROM U.K. (2021).
It his brother. Not his son
Ronald Howard is a gift to the character. Marion is excellent, intelligent and very human and witty. There is so much chemistry here between them. Basil and Bruce are great but Basil is rash and treats Bruce like a bumbling fool which is too often how Bruce as Watson actually does portray making Bruce look stupid.

I love all the Sherlock Holmes series and Howard does an exceptional job in this series.
Howard is smooth and natural as Sherlock so classy and relaxed.
I love this Holmes rendition. So glad Ronald Howard played the part. This part Brit Part French production is stellar!
Thank you. I wonder if the original negatives still exist. Worth restoring. I enjoy these immensely. Thank you again.

You missed one. Charlton Heston played Holmes in a TNT rendition of the crucifer of blood.

So nice to see a Sherlock Holmes who is relaxed and enjoying his work, instead of a neurotic mess! I'd rather watch this series than the ones where he's brooding, angry, sarcastic and contemptuous. Can't say I like the way Dr. Watson is portrayed--like a straight man in a comedy act--but at least he's not a bumbling oaf! Also, the music is pleasant.
Thanks for taking the time to post the Sherlock Holmes vids. I love them all, and they're very hard to find (for me).
leslie howard's son. this has always been my favorite sherlock. thanks
My favorite too. Thanks for posting.
Leslie died in a plane crash, when the plane came apart in the air, it was one of the first jet airliners of Britain's.
I like to watch Ronald Howard is very nice old tv show remember when I grow up with my elderly grandparents we watch black and white tv.The good old days,
Very good and entertaining basil Rathbone used to be my favourite Sherlock Holmes and now it's Ron Howard
I'm just discovering this series, it's enjoyable entertainment, many thanks.

l like Ronald Howard...a simple man... lovely manner.
I like him as Sherlock. Sharp!
Watson is good as feisty Dr. Watson.
Absolutely. I H A T E the dumb stumbling version of Watson. Can't stand it. This is the best.
I have to say that just as Sean Connery is to Rodger Moore is Basil Rathbone to Ronald Howard. Just as I think Sean Connery is the quintessential James Bond. Basil Rathbone is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes
I think it’s great that Sherlock Holmes (Ronald Howard) is the son of Gone With the Wind’s Ashley Wilkes (Leslie Howard)!

Thx for that info--the resemblance is great.

Lol; “Yes Watson, I must confess that not only did I tweak Your nose - but I also pulled Your leg.”
😂😂😂
I love these Sherlock Holmes stories!
Love the narrative of a comical side!!!!😍😂😂
Brilliant Love all these detectives but this is great thanks best regards
People seem to forget that under acting can be better than
over acting
Something you learn at Drama School.
I like the music. A lot. It's perfect.
I do too! The usual theme on this series, I found very grating on the ear.
Thanks for your effort truly
I like Wilkins in these productions - never noticed the character before!
Is he the policeman?
Joanie 345
Yes - he’s the modest, efficient, unquestioning, soul on whom the world depends!
It is not as good but if you know the early black and white series ‘Burke’s Law’ - he transforms into the police lieutenant ‘Tim’ - with a touch of Batman’s ‘Robin’ besides!
@@markhughes7927 he also played the priest during a burial service in the beginning of one episode.

I always watched the Basil Rathbone Sherlock ones and he is my favorite however and always will be I think he is the true essence of Sherlock.. bit I think that series is ruined by how Watson is made to be a complete bumbling idiot..I mean he is supposed to be a Dr he couldn't have been that dumb..., I stumbled across these and...overall I think these are my favorite because I love Ronald as Sherlock and I love how competent Watson is in this series! And not a complete idiot. Love love this series they make the perfect team!
Indeed. I never understood why they depicted Watson like that. Not exactly credible that Holmes would be friends with a fool.
In these series, Holmes speaks of Watson very adamantly, you can tell they are friends.
I found the DVD ,all the I think 39 episodes ...I e joyed the writing , and was very very delighted lost the DVD? But on WiFi ....I too think the pair are superb and the quality of the show is surprisingly not just good but extremely good !! How ,did I not have known ,heard I enjoy them and can watch them muchly!over again like ......quality!!/!//pass on to one and all!!
Basil Rathbone's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes is also my favorite. H. Marion Crawford's portrayal of Dr. Watson was more to the original story of Sherlock Holmes.
Brett was Holmes , Rathbone was a Hollywood caricature of Holmes
He’s not a real doc, was a medic in the service and he’s a real PUTZ like frank burns on mash
I just love this series.
He's my favorite Holmes, I think, and he really tried his best with the Star Wars.
On this show all Americans are always bumpkins, rich Texans or both! But I love it.
Jeremy Brett RIP--best Sherlock Holmes ever!
Am I the only one, who had motion sickness, when the close ups happened?
Fun to hear the "cowgirl" attempt a Texas accent!
Ha,ha,ha, yeah.!!
❤I lived all Sherlock Holmes movie, whether black and white or in color I seen like 5 Sherlock five Dr. Watson 😅 many yrs even in a cartoon show !!
Ah, good old black and white. Times were much simpler back in a time when I didn't even exist. 😂
why is the musical intro changed?
it was bugging me so I went back and checked 5 different people , that has uploaded in this particular
video/ episode and I
found ( free domain ) and the orchestra composition on all of The Originals but that music you're using is completely different
Orchestra composition.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
but that's okay everyone has their own prerogative
I preferred the ORIGINAL MUSIC to this series-- not that wimpy mess they're playing with this..
@@davidcarter6475 .
LOVE THE OLD CLASSICS.
Watching him for the first time.... To me Jeremy Brett is the best Sherlock Holmes ever then Basil Rathbone
Basil Rathbone wasn't that good Howard's better
Great stories as always. But man, what's with the wavy camera angles? You can get dizzy watching these particular episodes!
THAT is what they called "the GRIP" when you look at credits- -they didn't have that perfected then-- camear agjustments were not automatic-and it's an optial effect caused by keeping the actors in focus as they moved against the backgound- or wanted to change the scene.
Kinda bothers me and makes my ONE eye vision cause me to need Dramamine to watch it> ha.
@@davidcarter6475 Thank you very much for elucidating; I'd never seen such visual distortions before, and had concluded the film was somehow warped with age (like myself). And now that you've mentioned it, I remember seeing "Key Grip" in credits, as a child, and imagined it involved baggage handling! Live and learn, right?
@@deborahb4830 It's a fault during conversion, stabilisation not engaged during transfer, one either compensates clarity with background distortion/wobble or less clarity but stable background, whoever converted the footage chose clarity
The actress who played Minnie in the Cowgirl episode was very pretty. Reminded me of a brunette version of Ellie May Clampett. 😄
Thank you!!!!!
Crazy camera work, the background wavers and looks like cameraman has shaky fingers with the focus knob.
I agree!! Watching it makes me feel kinda wonky ... especially during the episode 'the Belligerent Ghost' it's really annoying. *Just wondering now if they think it is some clever thing, so we feel like it's ghostly?
70 years old....WTF do you expect. Celebrate it. Do not decry it.
You clearly are useless eaters, as Kissenger would say. Expect everything and deserve nothing.
Thank you
Unfortunately, this video is one of many that was subjected to TH-cam's wonky warp stabilization routine (thankfully TH-cam stopped offering it because it was crap). It makes the picture bloom and distort when there is a lot of movement in the frames. Unwatchable. Too bad.
I see a wee bit of the Valley of Fear in the first episode.
Indeed.
Odd rewriting of Doyle original plot points are woven throughout this series.
Don't know why the producer felt the need to include orchestra music. .... Doesn't help.
? 6:00 Four hours to travel by train less than 50 miles ?
that's a concrete draw bridge so it can't be lifted small note but it happens in old movie's........
I was wondering about that too!!
Pity the upload utilised the framing algo. Get dizzy watching, so, too bad.
This series is very good. The 40s versions with Basil Rathbone seem to top them all, but this is remarkably good.
Nice movie to watch again & again,,, much love from Kenya, rtn back please
Hello Kenya, it is great to share this delightful version of
Sherlock Holmes.Greetings from New England, USA.
Can anyone understand what the boy calls them @6:43?
'Madder than March hares, that what you two are'. Time stamp: 6:38
@@connecting2spirit oh i get it, old English saying...👍😊
The villain in this episode happens to be in a lot of Sherlock homes episodes.
The cowboy client is over the top
An American stereotype from the British point of view. Fairly accurate to the characters portrayed in the original Holmes novels & stories.
What about the screen moving?
My favourite Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson characters.
That cowgirl! WHERE did they dig that character up!
That accent is way over the top!But she tried.
I am the biggest fan of Sherlock Holmes who lived at 21 Baker Street.
The Texas Cowgirl is my favorite episode. I LOVE the way she talks. I know its not great acting but something about her i love. Lol! She's actually an incredibly beautiful woman. There's many many beautiful women in this series.
Camera work is making me sea sick. Take me back to Basil Rathbone. I guess those were movies and this is TV.
The castle scene would have been better filmed on a cloudy foggy day.
why does the picture shift like when youre drunk?
Because many uploaders have no idea how to upload properly and activate the anti-shake function which is thought for handheld footage. But since there no shake here the function tries to compensate what's not there, hence the horrible effect.
@@lorenzogattaldo3764 Or they are applying it to disguise copyrighted material.
That's not original theme music.
Wilson speaks Blackfoot, priceless.
How long was that body lying there?
Ronald Howard and Basil Rathbone are equally same as Roger Moore and Sean Connery as James Bond
My fave version of Holmes!
Good show . . . jolly good show.
The end. That ridiculous cowgirl episode. What were they thinking. Not a good Sherlock episode. I can't bear to watch any more.
There is a place in Shrewsbury called Christmas Pie.
elegant and classy, just like his dad.
Is that a cat screaming at 1:02:50 ?
Any relations to Ron Howard?
Q Are they related - Leslie, Trevor and Ronald Howard? A British actor Ronald
Jennifer Hunter.
I didn't keep searching, but I found this on the internet.
"Howard, 71, who appeared in American TV's Sherlock Holmes series in the mid-1950s, is the son of the late film star Leslie Howard (Gone With the Wind). He is not to be confused with American actor, producer and director Ron Howard. Aug 26, 1989."
Son of Leslie Howard, who got shot down by Nazi rats on a commercial flight in WWII. Leslie did some good propaganda against those Nazi scum before they got him.
No he isn't related to Ron Howard, Leslie Howard is his dad.
🙄🤡💙😂😂😂😂
I liked how the sergeants number made 2018 @ 19:30
This show is a treasure. Although i liked basil rathbone and nigel bruce. Ronald howard and marion crawford bring a more human version of the characters. I also liked Archie Duncan's version of Inspector lastrade.
This "new" Musik is annoying! The old was much better. 😒
Am i the only one notice the background keep moving😂😂😂😂
