Sherlock Holmes- The Dying Detective Part 3

[@johnshields6852]

My favorite episode, clever story and done with brilliant acting and Hardwick and Brett are amazing. Thanks for great entertainment.

[@rezarezaei2960]

this is the only scene among all episodes in which, Holmes compassionately gets angry against oppression of his client

[@LadyOndyne]

I lov Brett's interpretation of Holmes in this case!!! XDXD

[@cathydoyle8804]

Put the kettle on! And watch this wonderful acting, and brilliant drama, wonderful actors, what more do you need?

[@carlfernandes1275]

My sentiments exactly Cathy 😊

[@malkakideckel9058]

Jeremy Brett's face, especially on the sides are swollen, his voice is not the same at all. He was undoubtedly ill.

[@johnsonjohnson4725]

He was quite ill with heart disease.

[@nicolebarnes581]

Excellent!!!

The wheelchair ramps in the sidewalks are the only thing that belie the period.

All my respect to you. Keep shining always❤

[@marksmith3947]

Very sad how ill Brett was at this time. Nevertheless he still performed brilliantly

[@ParkSeoHamStar]

Jeremy Brett Amazing Wonderfull Actor!!

[@avicennitegh1377]

wow Holmes does throw a curse!

[@OrchestrationOnline]

Interesting contradiction here. The original story is almost a spoof of the melodramatic. It's a very short span of time: Watson is called to Holmes' deathbed, Holmes babbles deliriously, and then asks him to fetch the evil doctor. After another scene or two, the mystery is solved. The whole thing is actually quite funny and improbable. Here the scriptwriters struggle to make it more probable, but in doing so make it intentionally and whole-heartedly melodramatic. The adaptation is okay, but it could have been devastatingly brilliant by staying close to the razor-sharp story.

[@andrewbevan4662]

Have you heard the BBC Radio 4 version ?, I think it's a much better version of this particular story. Brett is otherwise very good

Smith!

The gift of tobacco? Come on Holms

cool

[@barbaragalyean5030]

Does anyone know why he has white powder or whatever it is on his face?

[@chislehurstbat]

He was very severely ill and needed an oxygen mask in between the scenes. Just makeup.

[@barbaragalyean5030]

@@chislehurstbat incredible how he kept going….. I hope he was saved. Thank you for the reply.

[@chislehurstbat]

@@barbaragalyean5030 He didn't have that much time left and sadly passed away in 1995. Amazingly dedicated actor and very charismatic.

[@barbaragalyean5030]

@@chislehurstbat yes, he was a very good Sherlock Holmes. That is sad that he died …and he was not even that old….My mother didn’t like to watch fiction but when she was hurting from the lingering pain of shingles, she was willing to watch it with me -and she loved it. We watched most of them together! So I bought the complete set of Sherlock Holmes on DVD with Jeremy Brett…. and I have good memories from that. My mother died suddenly while shopping at a Walmart last year so those fun memories we had together (laughing at the extra ordinary expressions of Holmes and his wonderful outbursts and etc…) ….are precious.

[@TheBlue70007]

wow he looks like johnny depp in dark shadows . watson should get a metal for putting up with holmes even now holmes is actually action like a person with feeling in theses scenes

I'm a confused American ... Wasn't there the law of primogeniture during the time? Why wasn't Victor's son the heir?

[@keepdancingmaria]

Where there is an entailment it takes precedence over any individual's desires for disposing of his property. Entailments can be amended, but not broken.

[@jonhohensee3258]

Why is this in the category of comedy?

[@AA-zq1sx]

Brett ruined Sherlock Holmes... by playing the iconic and stoic "very-Brittish" character as an insufferably spoiled, barking every line, diva-vampire-drag-queen. Sadly made the show unwatchable for me. Pretending to die on the couch was his one good moment as his over-the-top hammy-acting accidentally served the story.

[@avicennitegh1377]

Now you know he was an actor with range, not a one-trick pony.

[@AA-zq1sx]

​@@avicennitegh1377 He's an actor who made a prissy mockery of Sherlock Holmes in nearly every moment the was on screen. His performances were that of a theater-ham, insufferably chewing the scenery... he yelled every line like a deranged maniac looking for attention no matter how simple it was, and slathered himself in ghoolish white makeup against an all black costume like some sort of gothic drag queen. I can't stomach rewatching any of his shows... he was by far the worst portrayal of the iconic character, being too obsessed with himself and "stealing every scene" to respect the character who was calm, intelligent, reserved, deliberate, strong, and masculine.

[@avicennitegh1377]

@@AA-zq1sx Wow. I get you don't like him. Hope you feel better in the morning.

[@AA-zq1sx]

@@avicennitegh1377 I feel wonderful, thanks. He deserves honest criticism for his performance - ruining the most beloved character in history by the gratification of his own ego.

[@avicennitegh1377]

@@AA-zq1sx Then tell it to him. I don't need more of your toxic opinions. Honestly.
