    This is one of the greatest thing I've heard. I remember seeing this movie as a kid. I love Holmes. He was the first superhero. He was such a brilliant and flawed human being. Doyle was a genius creating this character.

      Doyle also wrote many other fine novels and short stories . It's rather a pity he's only remembered
      for Holmes...

      I must disagree with your pretentious claim "it's a pity he is only known for Holmes" you have not impressed anyone besides which sadly was your main goal

      Great list! Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett wre best IMHO. I had no idea there were so many. I often like Robert Downey Jr & he at least put in an original role but the movie he was in seemed absurd, a little like overstated. That's the modern world, of course, lots of special effects and overacting and very little subtlety or conversation

    • @craigdylan3953
      @craigdylan3953 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@granthurlburt4062 Hands down the best IMHO. Brett and his cohort were so true to the original book. All the rest were terrible caraciatures sp; I don't like the fact that they made Dr Watson out to be a fool, nor showed Sherlock in all his over the top enthusiasm. The Brits did a great job with Brett and their Sherlock series. I don't think it can be topped. Gillette was a Ham, and no Kosher either. Just because you play One role for your life doesn't mean a thing except you are a one trick pony. Also, remember the Eugene Oneill play, with the father having done the same part year after year. One trick ponies are not usually very good....

    Doyle's attempt to bring to light, albeit in the example of a ficticious character, the struggles of those with drug abuse and mental illness. Holmes was one of gifted intellect, but was a prisoner to narcotics which made a bipolar condition more pronounced. This is a tale as old as time.

    I know he doesn't look the part but it's a shame Simon Callow never got a proper crack at Sherlock but In my opinion the best Holmes we never had was Richard E Grant ,,,in looks and general crankiness he would have owned the part 🤨🔍🎻(just an opinion)

    Very well done, although I do kind of wish this BBC Radio production could have been an unabridged reading of the Meyer story with bits such as Holmes in his delirium babbling about oysters taking over the world, (a homage to the Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes story 'The Dying Detective') but this is still a beautiful adaptation of one of the essential Sherlock Holmes pastiche stories.

      It was rarely mentioned because Holmes used coke as a last resort and it never affected his mental powers. As soon as a case of interest appeared he returned to his old cerebral, crime solving genius. I know nothing of his thrice daily ministrations so I believe it was a device to introduce Freud. However, other Holmes writers saw him as a beekeeper;one even had him battling with Count Dracula. Of Freud and his circle, Jung often dealt with addicts and alcoholics, in fact Jung is mentioned in AAs' Big Book
      He believed that a spiritual change was an essential part of the addicts recovery. Jung's letter to an American doctor was added to the first edition of Alcoholics Anonymous' big book. Yes, I have been a fan for fifty years.
