Sherlock Holmes (TV-1955) THE PERFECT HUSBAND (S1E27)

[@goldgeologist5320]

It is amazing how well written and acted these 30 minute shows were! Back when tv produced quality entertainment!!

[@J3rs3y_G1rl]

That was such a hard core reveal at the end for such a light hearted interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. Kudos to them for having the guts to do this back then.

[@keithnaylor1981]

Third viewing of this episode. Wonderful HD quality. Beautiful period feel, just look at her stunning dresses, but what makes this one so special is the absence of the usual humour. This episode is deadly serious!!! 8.20 UK

[@iWalkChris]

They captured the mind of a serial killer and the actors nailed it. This program is so old, yet actually still is on point about serial killers. The episode actually makes you think. Wow!

[@0x007A]

I can picture the role of the "perfect husband" being played by Vincent Price when he was at the peak of his career and played twisted characters.

[@stevesansome8784]

What I was saying is that Micheal Gough was a fabulous actor and very creepy here. Lestrade was first class and the lack of humour in this one was totally appropriate. Great edition of the show - bravo!

[@GregoryBartholow-gp6fk]

These never get old. I binge watch these as well as the ones with Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce. Cool adventures, no cursing, great story, cool plots with twists, and turns. Enjoyable ❤

[@lysmykyta1199]

I got a shiver up and down my spine when the tombs were discovered. A fantastic episode, the horror lingered in my mind for a long time!

[@mariehernandez5878]

This one always spooked me the most of all the Ronald Howard episodes.

[@charliechaplin3383]

Love this series. Is like an old radio show. Comfortable and great bedtime company. Just resting my eyes 😌💤

[@GregoryBartholow-gp6fk]

Perfectly put! Indeed!

[@oliviablackburn1113]

This is my favorite episode. Such a good one. It’s sad how many women have been killed by abusive crazy husbands because nobody took them seriously. Same for abused men.

[@zeinabigugunava2963]

Agree.

[@zeinabigugunava2963]

This woman was lucky to meet such a man as Sherlock Holmes.

[@jaystermac9870]

Typically men internalize their pain and tend to self harm at least that's how I dealt my situation, as far as abused women it's a tragedy it still is ignored

[@bodnica]

Still happening now there is no justice for women and children in any country😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@evamartin4807]

Well, thanks to you I don't need to watch this now 😑

[@maxb4074]

Michael Gough was a very skilled actor. Always enjoy watching his work.

[@marktafero9480]

By far the best episode of the series and the most movie worthy. Sir Conan Doyle would have gave a thumbs up!

Yes. And i like it.

Yes, and I was fascinated to find that Ronald Howard is the son the Leslie Howard, one of my all time favorite actors. The family resemblance is amazing.

I remember watching this episode when I was nine years old, and until now, I'm still blown away each time I watch it.

Most insane killer ever met, the perfect husband had thrill until last second, perfectly presented a serious murder plan so lightly.

What a thriller! Thank you so much for posting all these wonderful shows for us.

I am watching it in January 2021. Love these blokes of yesteryear. Little did I realize at the time how nice those years would stand out compared to today in America.

[@julieherman4513]

I don't know why, but Michael Gough has always given me the heebie jeebies. He's an excellent villian.

[@jdrancho1864]

He played Alfred, the butler, in the first four of the Batman movies, at the age of 82 or so. He died in 2011 at the ripe old age of 94.

[@jillarwenposadas9621]

@@jdrancho1864 I recognised him first from his voice and then by staring at him ~ I'd watched Alan Badel's Count of Monte Cristo way too often not to remember Michael Gough as Villefort (and even then I'd only recognised him as Alfred from Micheal Keaton's Batman).

[@jillarwenposadas9621]

And yet, I wouldn't have minded having him as my own Alfred to Bruce Wayne, which was the first time I ever saw him when I was a kid ~ his kindness to Bruce really impressed me in a sweet old grandfather kind of way ^^ All the same, I think the heebie jeebies might come from his voice and his eyes ^^;

[@keepdancingmaria]

Yes, it's his eyes. He can't disguise those eyes.

[@TheJMPD]

He sldo played the part of the KGB chief in the TV series "The Avengers", with Patrick McNee and Diana Rigg

[@jaylipoff3210]

Well done in such a short time slot on a minimal budget.

Wonderful! Thank you, PizzaFlix! This episode reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock. While it is very short it is also very suspenseful. Watching during the Pandemic, July 2020.

[@PizzaFLIX]

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX

[@YoreMeatMarket]

Excellent acting all around!

[@WolfMaiden11]

Nice way for this episode to end, with the clock symbolically striking nine to show that Janet has been saved just as Holmes catches her when she faints, and Watson prevents her husband from escaping.

[@DavidWilliams-vg1kb]

An excellent episode! One of the best.

[@daividabic2682]

Wonderful!! They can never make something like this in our time, although there are much more psychopats now then ever before!!!!!

[@walterwheeler5465]

An excellent episode in this fine series of "Sherlock Holmes."

[@WolfMaiden11]

This was my favorite among all the episodes, followed by Blind Man's Bluff, The Violent Suitor, The Belligerent Ghost, and The Mother Hubbard Case.

[@WolfMaiden11]

@Shirley Bailey He was the first Sherlock Holmes I watched, and I must admit, I was totally charmed by him. Basil Rathbone and Peter Cushing are tied in second.

[@pattyburnett2353]

It was throughallly disheartening that Lestrade believed the husband that his wife was acting hysterical and delusional. Fortunately, Sherlock knew he was an "insane fanatic" and arrogant.

[@jennygibbons1258]

Thank you 👏👏Not the pompous Holmes and his blustering, dithery sidekick we normally see.

[@johntao6822]

I so agree. Basil is an apt Holmes but a bit too full if himself.

[@scottyea]

That was one of the most insane episodes I have ever watched.

[@WolfMaiden11]

IKR? I was 9 years old when this series was broadcast during the classics hour, and this particular episode stuck with me for months after I watched it; it still blows me away whenever I watch it.

THIS IS A REAL TREAT: An episode from the Ronald Howard Sherlock Holmes series in VERY good quality, with authentic period sets and outfits, and, not only do we get all that BUT, in an EXTREMELY rare occurrence , for a programme on KZbin, we get SYNCHRONISED SOUND!!!

Crawford: The best Watson actor hands down.

[@lionman3378]

This Watson character is by far the best.

[@Britspence381]

Fantastic chemistry with Sherlock, too.

[@skaviva70]

I could not help noticing that Watson's moustache is a bit off kilter.😂

[@davidowen9671]

Yes, I too love these guys. But every viewer here loves the period, the manners, the dress, the dialog, the friendships. We love what we see, AND WHAT IS ABSENT. And we overlook foibles. Come on, Watson remarks that there is only one revolver, so a dopey audience can grasp the significance, and then he puts it back it the drawer to run off unarmed to the scene of an up and coming murder! Hilarious. And there are many such.

[@julymiller9296]

Seeing that many dead and where.... I'd faint too, Janet.

[@johanne577]

deliciously written ! 1. SH is very observant right at first meeting 2. villain quite scary psycho 3. victim believably scared, as am I 4. Watson right on time 5. music sounds like Phantom of the Opera-ish 5:10, 17:50

[@sandralindley1337]

My favorite Holmes series!

[@catpyjamas]

Easily the darkest episode in the series. Gaslighting decades before gaslighting was really a thing. What I love about this series is that it has a wide spectrum. You have the more serious episodes, then you have the average ones, then the ones that are absurdly comedic. I would imagine this would be a terrible idea for most series, especially a Sherlock Holmes one, but it just seems to work here for some reason. I've seen everything SH up till the really new ones that I couldn't tolerate. This series remains a really good one among them, Holmes and Watson are great here.

[@keepdancingmaria]

Gaslighting has always been a thing, certainly before there were gaslight!

[@vaslav030547]

Almost a gripping story without an end (like most low budget movies. Excellent performance's of Holmes and Watson before Rathbone and Bruce

You mean like ive been gaslighted the last 15 years. By a guy who thinks hes Sherlock Holmes.

[@agathapoirot5373]

My friend and I were talking about that word last week. We watch movies and/or read and then on the phone (pandemic, keeping social distancing, etc.) we exchange the words we learn. He came up with "gaslight" and we both remembered seeing the movie with Charles Boyer. I could see the word had to do with something psychological but did not have the exact meaning till he told me. I did not think about it i this movie till I read your post. Thank you!
