Sherlock Holmes (TV-1955) THE DEADLY PROPHECY (S1E22)

[@suchahermit55]

A fun 1950s lightweight version of Sherlock Holmes. No brooding. No cocaine or obsessing on Moriarty. It has an easy charm and some fun non Conan Doyle characters like Wilkins and Harry Crocker and the Texas cowgirl. 39 episodes. Wish there were more!

[@mysticalhuman]

well said!

[@leeknights5540]

I love Sherlock making the odd boo-boo and Watson getting the last word. Lovely stuff, thanks to KZbin and fabulous folks uploading, these treasures can still be discovered and enjoyed. Love Ronald Howard and H Marion Crawford, their chemistry, characters, and bromance. Lovely muscular manly service revolver toting Watson, matched with cerebral, mischievous and fine looking Holmes. Pure timeless entertainment

An entertaining episode of "Sherlock Holmes" with H. Marion Crawford and Ronald Howard and a good supporting cast. This series maintained interesting plots, pacing and acting. It was well worthwhile watching.

I love this series on Sherlock and Watson so much more than any version I have seen so far. Thank you a lot for making it available to us. 🤗💞

The only Sherlock that portrays the Good Doctor as Conan had intended. Not a bumbling mumbling comic relief but a capable side kick to the Great Detective. Knowing the character Holmes, how could any one think he would associate with such a fool. I think not. Thank you for this great series!

David Burke and Edward Hardwicke both played competent Watsons alongside Jeremy Brett. Martin Freeman also played a competent Watson in the modern "Sherlock" alongside Benedict Cumberbatch. However I agree that the common portrayal of Watson as a bumbling buffoon (as happens in some episodes of this series) is wide of the mark. Watson is a former army doctor who saw active service and received a severe bullet wound. He runs his own successful medical practice. He married twice. In many of the original stories, he shows great courage and some detective ability. He is a loyal friend who is not afraid to be firm with Holmes about his drug use. He is the one who smooths things over when Holmes has been rude, arrogant or insensitive. He writes and publishes the stories of Holmes' investigations, and always presents himself modestly and as a sounding board for Holmes' ideas. He is no bumbling oaf.

[@mercureethepersonality4671]

Mikefule what drugs did Holmes use!?

[@mikefule]

@@mercureethepersonality4671 He injected cocaine in a 7% solution. It is mentioned several times in the original stories. Watson, being a doctor, disapproved and they bickered about it. Whenever Holmes was bored between interesting cases, he would fall into depression and take the cocaine to self-medicate. In some stories he also visited opium dens as part of his investigation, and smoked opium. I believe there is also reference to Holmes sometimes taking morphine.

[@davesheppard8797]

Hi John, This has fasinated me too! Leslie Howard was very much disliked in Germany because of his propaganda films, so he could have been targeted.......but there had been talk that Churchill was to be on the same plane but didn't in the end fly on it. Leslie Howard's speech at the end of Pimpernel Smith would not have gone down well with the Nazi's. If you haven't seen Pimpernel Smith it is a must watch, although a little slow to get going but is a great film!! It is available to watch on KZbin. Dave.

[@davesheppard8797]

@John O'Connor No problem John, I'm sure you'll enjoy Pimpernel Smith! Leslie Howard was also in the film "First of the few" (entitled Spitfire here on KZbin as that was the American name). It is based around the story of R J Mitchell, the Spitfire designer. It also has many original Battle of Britain pilots in the first part of the film, which is why their acting seems a little wooden.

His plane was shot down by the Nazi's, but there were several famous people aboard, including one man who looked like Winston Churchill. No one knows for sure who the target was, but Howard, who was known for his anti-Nazi propaganda films and hated by Goebbels, could certainly have been the reason the plane was shot down.

So this boys' school is in Belgium, eh? My headcanon for this ep is that before he and Watson headed home, Holmes met one of the other students who hero-worshipped the great detective and confided that he'd like to be a detective himself one day. Holmes laughed, "As long as you can exercise those little gray cells of yours, I've no doubt you'll be a fine detective. Au revoir, young Hercule."

Is SH independently wealthy, and if so, how did he get this way? I ask because he rarely gets or discusses a fee for his services.

[@suchahermit55]

In the A. Conan Doyle stories he sometimes charges a large fee for wealthy clients in between his pro bono type cases. I believe his brother Mycroft is a financial wizard and advises Sherlock on investments. In one story Holmes secretly buys out Watsons practice to free him up as an assistant and archiver. You may want to keep in mind these episodes here though charming and fun are generally not Arthur Conan Doyle stories. This is Sheldon Reynolds wtiting, Im pretty sure.

@@HJKelley47Very interesting, and I will definitely look into your favourites!!! My personal favourite scene is the little speech about having problems to solve as a necessity to occupy his hungry mind, when Jeremy Brett speaks directly into the camera, in the first appearance as Sherlock Holmes for television by Granada studios. It's a wonderful way to keep his magnificent talent alive, his beauty and his eyes, and the genius that made him a perfect Holmes. It's wonderful to hear that you cherish his performance, too!!! In an interview with BBC he said about himself that he was such a good-looking man when he was young and performed in War and peace. I think he is in his prime at the scene I mentioned above. Such an impressive work that he left behind, and he followed his dreams. Even changed his name when his father said, your family name is too good to be the name of an actor!!! This is how he became Jeremy Brett, since Brett was his stage name that he took on in real life, as well. He was beautiful and smart and courageous, he had guts!!! His father wanted him to use the family name once Jeremy Brett had become famous, but he wouldn't do that!!! Twice the right decision!!! Admirable!!!
