Sherlock Holmes (TV-1955) THE EIFFEL TOWER (S1E30)

[@marysylvie2012]

The more I see this series and the more I like it, and prefer it over the other Sherlock Holmes. The humor in this series is absolutely charming. Thank you so much for all your uploading, PizzaFlix! Many, many thanks.

[@annakim9870]

i love how watson is so nervous about talking to a bunch of floozie girls this really is the best adaptation of sherlock holmes especially since watson isnt portrayed as a bumbling fool and you can see the friendship and respect between him and holmes

[@UkOutreach]

It’s not an ‘adaptation’, just using the names of the characters from the original books. A lot of fun, but otherwise no connection at all.

[@DAVYMAC]

Well spoken, I laughed also at Watson!

[@sarahmariah100]

​@UkOutreach I know, really the most valuable part about this series is that you can see what was a 50s interpretation of culture. Which isn't to say it's bad, it's great - I'll jump in and out of stories with these characters whenever I get a chance. It's just true that it's not telling stories from the time it's showing, it's straight up TV writing.

[@arnepianocanada]

Holmes talking Watson into inviting the girls is delicious. Marion Davies' 'stereotypical Englishmam' has humour yet sincerity, and his chemistry with Howard is tops.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Believe it or not, the entire series was actually shot in Paris France, and the English sets, including Baker St. were in Paris as well. Also, many of the other actors in the series were French, and used fake English accents. Lastly, the series was financed by an American, and the series was created for an American audience, which loved the series! So all and all, this is probably one of the least English Sherlock Holmes series ever made!

So many SH movies/shows out there. Always finding a new version with different actors. This was indeed a great one from the 1950s Thank you

[@jacksternquist6625]

One of my absolute all time favorite Sheldon produced Sherlock Holmes. A strange ending, unfulfilled really, but it had a little bit of everything else that made this 1950's tv serial so well done. I truly enjoy watching many of the same actors playing different parts over the 30 plus episodes; just a lot of fun. The gentleman who played the part of Harry Crocker (sp) was especially entertaining in every episode he played -- such a wild enthusiastic character each and every time. In this episode, I enjoyed the personal visit to the French night club and the dancing girls; I'm sure that is now a lost art...

[@RubixCubist]

Makes you wonder why he needed the cab to 221b to begin with. Moreover why they needed a boat/train. Sherlock and Watson could’ve piggybacked on him and made it to the tower in half the time easily.

Leslie Howard's brother. Ronald was a good Sherlock Holmes . I've seen several episodes. Leslie Howard played in Gone With The Wind and later played a masked a avenger in The Scarlet Pimpernel. He was killed during World War II when the plane he was on was shot down during a War Bond drive. The Nazis thought that Winston Churchill was on the plane but it was one of his doubles. It also claimed the life of Clark Gable's wife.

+ heaerglen: this series is made in 1954/1955, afther Rathbone. And this ep. is not the case of the exhumed client, but the Eifeltower.

[@Toobula]

I don't want to be a cranky KZbin commenter, but there is just not much good to say about this. This was 1955, when Alfred Hitchcock was doing his shows as was Lucille Ball. Look at the production quality in those shows and then look at this mess. The cartoonist acting, the abysmal script, the rinky-dink sets, the abysmal editing of file footage scenes, and worst of all, a complete departure from the principal characters as portrayed by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce movies, though more entertaining, were also woefully guilty of this. This is not Sherlock Holmes. I have read most of the Sherlock Holmes stories and in my opinion, we had to wait 30 years when Jeremy Brett finally get it right. The one shining moment here was the wonderful performance of the can-can dancers, in spite of being made to perform on an 8-foot-wide stage with a plywood floor that made their footsteps louder than the music.

[@sarahmariah100]

I think it was really low-budget at the time. Idk if I read this or just think it, but it seems like maybe they needed content at the time. I still like this little show, though - it's about a million times better that Thriller at any rate
