Sherlock Holmes (TV-1954) THE MOTHER HUBBARD CASE (S1E10)

[@rezathenightfly]

Ron Howard is by far the most genteel Sherlock Holmes on screen. Love his soft, subtle mannerism.

[@meechipeachi]

I like it too. While I adore Benedict Cumberbatch 's version of the character b/c it brings humorous attention to behaviors of the "Spectrum folks" as I'll call it right now - Asperger, INTJ - that makes those with it seem so rude at times. His strong value for truth, and low value for other people's emotions. ... in contrast, this version still controls and directs conversations with others, but is much more polite, and certainly more gracious about it. I do know you probably making comparisons with the other fellow of this time. But I haven't watched enough of them to know differences yet. But I really like these stories! And glad I found them.

[@rezathenightfly]

@@meechipeachi That is an exceedingly thoughtful observation on your part. Well put indeed. Whilst I'm ready to admit that I personally found Mr. Cumberbatch's portrayal of the titular character a trifle too off-putting, particularly with the overdose application of his trademark brusquerie. Notwithstanding, he does manage to imbue a certain modicum of dynamics to the role in his improvisatory fashion, independent of the actual storyline. Also, by way of recommendation, I would highly suggest that you invest some time watching Jeremy Brett as SH in the much-loved Granada Television Presents series from the 1980's. For me, the late, great Mr. Brett is the definitive. But then again, when all is said and done, it really boils down to each to their own, after all.

[@susannewicht7570]

I think, every actor had his own style, be it Jeremy Brett, Geoffrey Whitehead, Ron Howard or Basil Rathbone. I liked all those interpretations of Sherlock Holmes' character. These ones were the most humorous ones.

[@goldabernstein1215]

I like Mr. Howard's version the best! Of course, writing and directing make a hug difference. He plays a brilliant man but without the vicious tendencies of other Holmes. I like Ronald Howard more than his old man. Leslie seemed a bit too foppish.

[@deborahpaulin1188]

Love it. A reliable classic.

[@BackToTheBlues]

I love these versions of Holmes and Watson. I read up about them - Ronald Howard played Holmes as a young version, enhtusiastic and to an extent still learning his trade (and as seen in some episodes, not yet the virtuoso on violin, as proved by the look on Watson's face when he picks it up), and H. Marion Crawford portraying Watson as intelligent, bluff and down-to-earth - a useful, though occasionally unwilling assistant, rather than than the bumbler he became in other portrayals.

[@knighttuttrupriprock9733]

Great observations and analysis of these characters.

[@tylerjerabek5204]

This is actually AFTER the Rathbone movies and radio. The actor who played the bumbling Watson had already died

[@pinkminipuff]

I enjoy these portrayals as well. Alot of personality for sure.

[@UkOutreach]

Rubbish re Watson. It was only Nigel Bruce who was the bumbler.

[@Galavya41]

Why is it that these episodes and black and white films in general of the 30's ,40's and 50's have such a calming effect on me ? It cannot be nostalgia as I am a young guy ....I find again and again these old films and serials to be very therapeutic .

[@ZER0--]

I know what you mean. I love watching "Rising Damp" for similar reasons. I would have loved to have lived there. It looks cosy. But only in my head. In real life it would have probably been a night mare.

[@Galavya41]

Well I dont think life was a ' nightmare' back in the 30' and 40's ...IMO the allure of these classic films and TV series is that it reminds us of simpler times...I am noticing that the more I stay away from things like Facebook, Whatsapp, Sanpchat etc. the more at peace I am with myself and my world. My ' worry topics' include the things I have to do on that given day BUT the moment I go online I begin to worry about everything from the economy to the future of humanity...Ofcourse bad things happened back then as well( not one but two world wars ) but unlike today everyone didn't possess a HD camera and means to transmit every gory detail around the world in a matter of minutes ....I am not bashing technology but everything has a negative side .Nice to know you love British Sitcoms as well . I am currently watching Hi De Hi and yes more than the comedy I am enjoying the calming effect I mentioned earlier.

[@littlewhitepetals8790]

Love all the old British comedies from the seventies and eighties The scripts were not written to accommodate 10 ads every 15 minutes. There was more plot and character development. They were genuinely funny and many of a gentle, sympathetic nature. Now it's like we're exposed to cultural ADHD, our thoughts being constantly interrupted and rerouted. Finishing thoughts, thinking through a subject or keeping a development of thought and subject in our own minds (communing with ourselves) are not encouraged. I also love all the different English, Welsh, Scottish, Irish, etc. accents. Hi De Hi has some great ones!

[@tennyho3314]

Watson seems to have an inexhaustible supply of patience and tolerance as invariably every episode he states that Holmes has "gone too far"...

How I do wish that I could return to those wonderful times of yesteryear

[@MikeGreenwood51]

Aye. When the thick swirling Fog clearled you could meet Jack the Ripper or the Acid Bath murderer. Worse you could stumble across one of their victims. Not all the streets were paved like Baker Street. Some were rat infested. Go back earlier to the very beginning of the Victorian era and Bill Sykes, Bull Dog and Nancy could be in the pub. But of course you would be wise enough to only frequent the more affluent respectable places. I meant this in good taste and hope it is accepted in good taste.

[@meechipeachi]

Ah, nice. Good info to know. Thank you

[@j81851]

As I have said on many occasions Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are the "serious, hard core Sherlock and Watson" They are interesting to watch but somewhat driven particularly Sherlock (Rathbone) Truly a priceless paring and a very good if not one of the best representations of Doyle's fine work. But honestly Ronald Howard and H Marion Crawford are simply as good (in my opinion) and just more fun to watch. The mutual admiration and rare if every condescension between them (always sporting when it does happen, not harsh or malicious as can be the case with Rathbone/Bruce) is always light hearted . The caricature of Holmes/Watson in this version is human, interactive and mutual. Not that Rathbone/Bruce do not have their moments as well but there are simply more "good warm hearted moments" here. These men, just like Rathbone/Bruce do the characters justice and would make Doyle proud in either case. I like this version thanks for the uploads.

Sadly, elderly people in those days had to work till they dropped, unless there was a family member willing to look after them. I often wonder if the increase in longevity during the 20th century was not due to medical advances or improved nutrition, but to the introduction of the age pension.

I couldn't stop laughing at several of Holmes' poker faced antics with Watson constantly losing it, although I find it rather sad that the grandmother had to do what she did to provide for her granddaughter, only to be exposed and arrested in the end. Life can be so cruel, and make the most decent people do things that they would never had done.

[@kimberlykasimoff1447]

I cannot agree in this situation. The old woman wanted the little girl not to have want. To have a life of ease and to have things that other people had that she saw. They were not starving, on the street. She just wanted more, and she could justify killing people, taking their life for her own selfish gain. Maybe being a cleaning woman is not the best job, but can murder be acceptable to make it possible to not have to do that job? What about the little girl when she finds out that she was used by her grandmother to lure in the men? Yes, this was only a movie, but you stated that "life can be so cruel, and make most decent people do things that they never would." So how do you know that "most decent people" are doing these things? Live within your means, no matter what they are, and you won't go around murdering people. Taking from someone else, so that you can have. As though they are not entitled to having a life of their own.

Try taking your own advice, or even better, put yourself in a situation where you are forced into a corner, and have to resort to something you wouldn't have done if things were easy to live.

Hard to believe that H & W would walk into a room containing a dead body without having to put their hands over their noses due to the smell, they would have as soon as the body tumbled out. At least in a previous film they shuddered as they got into their flat while brushing off the snow. Years ago I saw "The Mousetrap"and nearly stood up and shouted "Close that window again - this time wth feeling!" The actor had walked in from another room (?) and walking across merely said "Who's left this window open?" The wind machine was blowing snow flakes in through the billowing curtains. Loving the scenes of old London. Watson is so well played. Sir ACD would be chuffed for sure.

[@johanne577]

if i see a lost girl like that, i might help too, but won’t eat any divinity fudge ! not even that milk ! omg Sherlock took a sip.

[@sharonwhiteley6510]

After watching the series with Jeremy Brett, this is like a comedy

[@waderaney7]

Excellent

[@sanjanewmoonlife]

These old movies are made with style,not now in crazy generation every movie 🎥 swearing and killing with guns,bombs, terminator 😤

[@geraldhard1562]

Robbery an murder with tea . Hard way to make a living .

[@PhilBagels]

The pacing of these episodes always seems rushed to me. The endings are rather abrupt. They were good stories, but they didn't have the time to fully flesh them out. Probably would have been better as an hour-long show.

[@RandomShenaniganery]

That's because film is expensive

[@cpuwrite]

...Different portrayal of Dr. Watson THAN usual.

[@kimberlykasimoff1447]

Another good one. I could not find information why Holmes named his skeleton Nebuchadnezzar. There's no Biblical or secular support for it.

[@satigangapersad4518]

best SH series

[@KimmyQueen]

I have no pity for this woman. If she could not care for the child, she could have placed her on adoption to a proper family. Or an orphanage. Eight innocent men died... imagine if one was a pedophile. To think there are truly perverse people in this world irl.

[@Robbie_S]

Lol what a polite, gentle and kind old lady murderer.

[@McIntyreBible]

22:27, Holmes pretends that likes the fudge but is aware of her wicked plan!

[@warricktyler6759]

An awfully sad episode . You wish she could have saved enough sooner

[@dp-6730]

Love watching in 2021

[@nicholascollora6709]

Thanks visters

[@dianevitale1214]

Thanks again Pizza.

[@billh.6135]

A great series However I am a bit surprised at how nice they all were to that old murderous hag when they arrested her. They treated her as if she was being arrested for shoplifting chocolates for her granddaughter! And the guy at the beach describing her as sixty years old?! She was 75 if she was a day!

[@bernieoconnell5515]

Nowadays they see no difference between sixty and 75 either.

[@feralbluee]

WHY do people look back on the days before their time and always say it was a simpler time? i was living back then and IT WAS NOT A BLANKETY BLANK SIMPLER TIME!!!!!!!!! i suppose the simplest time was when we came down from the trees way,way, way back 'then' and the only things we had to worry about were hunting huge mastodons, gathering and saving for winter (that's easy), being hunted by lions and sabre tooth tigers, finding warmth in the freezing winter and coolness in the blazing summer, and running from natural disasters - yeah, now that was a simpler time wasn't it? GODS!!!!!!

[@annamariebolt3523]

You were around in 1886? That’s amazing

[@feralbluee]

@@annamariebolt3523 ROTFL - what i meant was the '50's. no time is a simple time - amybe for some people, especialy if they're rich, but not for most folks :} Keep safe! 🌷

[@delphinidin]

Shades of Arsenic and Old Lace, this one!

[@sirbum1918]

Ask a grown man for help! I would call the police on that kid so fast....

[@carryon2197]

Nice!

[@alexbain9762]

Why oh why do I get the idea that most of the cast are French ? Great series. Bravo pizzaflix.

[@redblade8160]

The inspector is so stupid that he will forget the cakes have been poisoned and eat one later on for his tea!

[@darkfan4706]

Is there ever a Mrs. Hudson in this series?

[@fritula6200]

Always!

[@josephjohn31]

An unusual case of using as a tool the innocent little girl for murder poisioning and taking money was very interesting and the mystery can be revealed only by Holmes.

[@addie_is_me]

Best Holmes/Watson team of them all! I just don’t understand this crime? If the little girl gets a man to take her to a different address each time, how does he end up sitting with Ms Enid in her house and getting poisoned and how does Enid end up then getting him into the flue of a strange house. I know she has they key, but you know, the rest of it? She poisons them to rob them? Why doesn’t the girl bring the man to the grandmothers address? What am I missing. Oh and on which Holmes story is this based?

[@dodojack1045]

They probably were at a vacant residence. With the occupant away.

[@johanne577]

grandma works as a cleaning lady and has keys to several houses. she teaches her grandkid to say 1 address at a time, lure in a Good Samaritan, rob and kill him, and stuff his body in the fireplace. Then on to the next house and victim. Their real address is a secret. They don’t lure anyone to their own place.

[@addie_is_me]

@@johanne577 but Holmes ends up at the grannies house. I got the basic story, but you described it extremely well. 🔍 They had a low budget so they couldn’t fill in some spots sometimes. I sound critical, but I’m not, I love this series.

[@CaribouDataScience]

Which story was this based on?

[@Springblooms-x4s]

It has a old world charm which appeals to our fine senses basically nature of all of us.Now a days they use trash language with no grace in words lack of utter decency .
