Sherlock Holmes (TV-1954) HARRY CROCKER (S1E9)

[@sharonwaters-pratt8790]

Absolute genius on the part of Eugene Deckers as Harry Crocker. His portrayal lent a lighthearted humor to the episode that even softened the characters of Holmes, Watson and Lestrade to a bit of comic relief.

[@jeanneratterman4174]

He is a very versatile actor, truly. Love the many faces and characters he has shown through the series. A lot of talent among the character actors. That is one of the most fun things to do: see if i can pick them out as they change from one episode to another.

[@johnm111]

I agree.. what versatility as an actor

[@colemanadamson5943]

Eugene Deckers portrayed the Harry Crocker character to absolute perfection! The tone of the voice, frenetic movements, the eyes....yes! Fabulous!

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

My sentiments exactly!

[@ranieriwm]

This is my favorite episode simply for Eugene Decker’s hilarious performance as Harry Crocker. “Always a smile and a song when things go wrong . Eh?”

[@lindarocco9974]

Eugene Deckers (portraying Harry Crocker) was priceless in this episode. I was laughing and laughing so hard at Inspector Lestrade bumbling around. Comedy is deceivingly difficult to pull off well. Thank you for posting this fun and charming episode for us. I really like Howard and Crawford together.

[@feralbluee]

so well said and i totally agree. i love Eugene Deckers. i bet he played serious parts very deeply

[@MrNikkirkpatrick]

i like this

[@tpatl6284]

Linda Rocco Favorite episode with the humor injected into a pretty good storyline. Deckers is very entertaining in all the episodes in which he appears. One of the funnier parts in the Harry Crocker episode was near the end with Harry reminiscing about his escape-artist father. 😂

[@lindarocco9974]

@@tpatl6284 Thanks Tad. I just watched it again after receiving your comments. Hilarious indeed. Yes, how his father could escape from the locked basket.... except for the last time they dumped him in the river. I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks for responding.

[@colemanadamson5943]

Indeed priceless. This was the best of the many characters he played on this series.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Maybe the single greatest Sherlock Holmes TV episode of all time. And considering the number of those episodes, across so many actors, that's really saying something.

[@virginia7191]

This is one of my favorites! Eugene Deckers is priceless!

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

Japp, - I think so too!

[@opalprestonshirley1700]

Eugene Deckers played many roles in this series but this was his best!

[@sharonwaters-pratt8790]

I agree. This was my favorite episode of this series of Sherlock Holmes.

[@costrio]

I agree with Opal. This is my favorite episode in this series and he played the Harry Crocker role, brilliantly, IMO.

[@donnajames9083]

Ronald Howard, H marion crawford, Archie Duncan and Eugene deckers simply shine 👏💖

[@detectiveh7399]

Well said

[@paulafields3711]

I didn't realize what a fan I was of this cast till I watched a subsequent cast. The writers and cast of these shows were phenomenal! And I've watched this one twice😉🙃

[@mw54470]

This is my favorite episode! Eugene Decker is in his element! He is so animated!

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

Totally agree with you!

[@terriwarner8682]

I concur with all of you who applaud Eugene Deckers’ portrayal of Harry Crocker!! He is why I watch this episode time and time again and laugh so much!! His escapades are hilarious!!!!

[@jeanetteyork2582]

Eugene Deckers....what an actor...🔊👏

[@erbiemurat2271]

This, without doubt, is the slipperiest case that Sherlock Holmes has faced - ever. In fact, I think he even surmises himself how slippery this case is. And as for dear old Watson, to say he is completely mystified from start to finish is a beautiful example of understatement found only in the English detective story, especially from that era.

[@annasteele9464]

I've been enjoying this so much never seen this before but this is by far the best actor as Mr Holmes. Thank you for shearing this in full screen. Regards from Iceland

[@michaelwertzy9808]

You must have to "shear your sheep" before you "share" them.

[@leonorebaulch6251]

This is the last one for me....I am sorry too! This was the funniest ....thank you so much for this delightfully clever and funny series...my new favourite Sherlock....

[@nancyn5324]

The most entertaining sherlock Ive ever seen. Thank you!!!

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

What an excellent show! And this episode is undoubtedly one of the best!

[@kimberlykasimoff1447]

An early episode with different, dramatic music for the opening. Probably the best one!

[@PizzaFLIX]

Thought they were all the same. I have to go Holmes on this one. Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you!

[@phoebewoods6696]

Wonderful! I think this is the funniest episode of Sherlock Holmes!

[@ninajefferson9743]

Watson: "So he's passed away then?" Harry: "The last time they threw him in the water." OMGODD!!! THAT WAS HALARIOYS I'M ROLLING ON THE FLOOR!!! FUNNYYYY!

[@gargoledragon]

Thanks to the person who found these love them

[@erifretrats378]

"your fathers passed on then?" says Watson..... "last time they threw 'im in the river" replies Crocker, every time I laugh, so funny, said so matter as fact by Crocker..... my favorite episode... but love them all............ what a fantastic troupe of actors they all were

[@johnmuehlbauer]

Just watched this episode for the 1st time. Absolutely, my favorite one in this particular series so far. Love the crime and detective genre for sure but this old school stuff is pretty damn good! Definitely a worthwhile watch!

[@jayare2620]

Justifies the whole series---a gem!

[@yomama8873]

Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖

[@RandomShenaniganery]

Sherlock's delight when Harry ran out

[@barbarajolley6578]

Wonderful! Thank you, PizzaFix:). I found another one I haven't seen:).

[@joegawne1601]

Absolutely brilliant loved every minute.

[@maxb4074]

the actor who plays Crocker delivers his lines a lot like the late Robin Williams

[@mercureethepersonality4671]

john bozo or rather... the late Robin Williams delivered his lines like the late Eugene Decker... since Decker came before Williams..

[@EdwardXbot3]

You know what he ment.

[@walterwheeler5465]

Another entertaining episode of "Sherlock Holmes" featuring H. Marion Crawford and Ronald Howard with a good supporting cast. This particular episode had good pacing, plot, and acting.

[@mercureethepersonality4671]

Walter Wheeler you type the same thing every post... you are so weird... 😂😂😂😂

[@damienpepper2254]

Well, Walt the Wheel, is what Merc the Pers accusing you of, the truth, and if it is, would you please, kindly, explain yourself.

[@HarlequinWriter]

My #1 favorite episode of the series! The comedy paired with the case is phenomenal!

[@9cats7]

He reminds me so much of Matt Smith and in this episode, it's hard to deny. He and Matt Smith's Dr. Who seem so much alike here. This episode was very entertaining. I loved it!

[@melmack2003]

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode!

[@covercalls88]

A bit of trivia Eugene Deckers and Marion Crawford both had bit parts in the moive The Longest Day (1962).

[@priscillayvonne3487]

My absolute favorite sherlock episodes of all time 😂 It's hella funny everytime 😂

[@PumaLyn]

Granted of course that the inspector himself is foolproof!🤭

[@isacchris1]

This guy is super funny I love this video!!

[@jeanneratterman4174]

Just an aside about the wonderful character actors who took on so many roles from episode to episode in many series. Paladin’s HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL was one of my favorites. Like this Sherlock series the character actors were so very good and took on so many different personas from one episode to another to my delight!

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

This episode is absolutely fantastic! I would even say - so far - the best of all! But "night is still young", and I have not watched all the season to the end.... So we will see :)

[@bernardnoctor7137]

Harry crocker is a good actor he plays as a murderer when he wants to kill Sherlock Holmes in the Christmas pudding and other stories

[@girlgeniusnyc272]

Best episode! Thanks Pizzaflix!

[@briancarr7834]

Through detective observation one can notice that Harry's name is misspelled on his poster (Harry Croker). 8:21 and at the end of short at 26:05

[@JV-fk4yo]

Brian Carr - Good catch. You are very observant.

[@roderickfemm8799]

When he introduced himself at the beginning, he also pronounced it as Croker. So I think there was some disconnect between when the episode was written and acted, and when it was aired.

[@jeanneratterman4174]

To hear the slow clip clop of the horse and then! Excitement! The police have arrived and surrounded the house! Egads! :-D Love it! I do love it!

[@dorotalipa9468]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Leelee407]

Only thing missing in Harry Crocker’s character; a cigar like Groucho, and a mime like Harpo... and a hat like Chico.

[@colemanadamson5943]

Deckers didn't need a prop.....he stood alone. One could argue his entire wardrobe was a prop being he was in and out of it a lot.

[@arizonamountainwoman3750]

BEST ONE! I laughed and laughed.

[@costrio]

I really like the theme music for the opening but the sound quality...oh well!

[@colemanadamson5943]

You're a lot of fun at parties, aren't you?

[@anthonywalsh785]

interesting indeed. at 8.20 on the billboard it said his name was harry croker, not crocker.

[@gautambhambhani4362]

This one was superb n hilarious 😂😂😂😂❤❤!!!

[@colemanadamson5943]

Both this series and the Honeymooner's ( Jackie Gleason ) had only 39 episodes. As Mr. Spock would say, "fascinating".

[@bernardnoctor5627]

Basil rathbone and Ron Howard a recent favourite s plus I've read all Holmes stories and basil rathbone based on Holmes and Watson characters

[@bernardnoctor5627]

And marion

[@mickeyd6492]

Hilarious! One of my favorite!!!!

[@jeanneratterman4174]

The ending where the killer looks at the 4th wall was intense! It was to good effect, too, not overdone at all.

[@garrick3727]

This is only the 4th episode of this series I've seen and Eugene Deckers was in both of them. Since he was a murderer Holmes convicted in the other one, who cleverly escaped from prison, I assumed he was playing the same character here. So, I was surprised to find he was innocent. I should know better because I've seen enough 50s and 60s shows to know they recycle actors quite frequently.

[@petrapetra6858]

i like jeremy brett very much. BUt I like this Sherlock holmes very much as well. He is more....natural. He does not have anything exaggerated about himself. Nothing that flamboyant....that's why I like him very much

[@josephjohn31]

Alleged murderer Harry outshined by escaping several times making Inspector Lestrade angry, but the real culrprit was caught by the perfect reasoning of Holmes which provided many exciting moments to viewers.

[@Phooie]

Deckers reminds me of Rowen Atkinson

[@rogerscottcathey]

So the playlist isn't in exactly sequential order I see

[@peterstewart2574]

I think this is the one that is the funny one for all time .

[@monicagomez4616]

Harry Crocker seemed so guilty but was so innocent based on one false testimony. The dedicated detective work of Mr. Holmes helped free him. It makes me wonder how many innocent people have been convicted and imprisoned for crimes committed by others. Excellent credit to writers of this phenomenal story.❤

[@KimmyQueen]

Is this like the first or among the first episodes cause the music is different

[@yomama8873]

Watching again❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@darkfan4706]

If you bet $$ opposite of what LeStrade accuses, you'd be a rich person.

[@sarran1955]

Hello, What a delight... Just a thought.. could Harry Crocker here have inspired Michael Caine..in the Italian Job?? Cordialement,

[@jamesl9371]

Watson jumps to conclusions without knowing and seeing all the evidence

[@julymiller2308]

Different theme than I've heard and used to

[@eawe]

Good one.

[@conningdale8805]

Very good viewing!

[@cindymckee6704]

The screams!

[@erikadittrich1962]

The entro music is quite shockingly different

[@feralbluee]

why different music? it's really not good at all. . . the episode is fabulous. who is that actor who plays the 'houdini' character? he's just wonderful :}

[@feralbluee]

oh, Maurea says who he is, Eugene Deckers - thanks so much :}

[@LandondeeL]

Why couldn't they use this opening theme more often?

[@suchahermit55]

Its actually the same melody just more piano

[@LandondeeL]

@@suchahermit55 Yes I know. This version however sounds as if Roger Williams would have played it.

[@Phooie]

The opening music is different in this one

[@gonova8412]

Why the different intro?

[@bodegabreath4258]

My other possible fav.

[@JonFrumTheFirst]

The music in this version is different from all the others I've watched in the series. Same melody, different arrangement. That's odd.

[@reynaldoflores4522]

You better check your playback speed.

[@Cheekychops]

Eugene Decker looks like a relative of Del Boy’s.

[@bioLarzen]

Asking those who have seen the episodes of this series in order: is there a ztrajectory in Lestrade's attitude towards Holmes? I'm watching the episodes here ojn KZbin in a random order, and what I see is that in some episodes Lestrade seems to be in awe of Holmes, and apparently has no problems associating himself with Holmes and letting him actively engaging in police matters (in short,: he treats Holmes as a friend and quasi colleague), in other episodes he seems not to like him at all, and tries to distance himself from him, wanting him as far from police matters as possible (in other words, he treats Holmes as an enemy or a nuisance). Does it have a nice arc when I watch the episodes in order?

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

BUT.. how did he lock himself in the trunk

[@LydellFisk]

Playing a prisoner, The Deckmaster took no prisoners.
