I love Ronald Howard’s ‘Sherlock’, and remember reading this story in its original form. Two things strike Me as I’ve watched it: 1) The situation of the mute (but beautiful Woman) in distress), and the fact that she regained her speech through an extreme emotional-reaction - involving the Man she loved - reminds Me much of ‘Kilmeny of the Orchard’, one of LM Montgomery’s books of this era. The story otherwise isn’t a match, but I believe that the similarity is probably due to the burgeoning-interest re physical/medical manifestations of emotional/mental-trauma - by the Medical-Community (and Public) at the time these 2-books were written. AC Doyle often included avant- guard medical and psychological ideas/theories of his time in the Sherlock Holmes stories, often ridiculous - but, in this case, legit. 2) Lol; have to laugh at the unrealistic special-effects and action-sequences in these old gems. The climactic confrontation-scene where the shot is fired - hitting a policeman - had Me giggling. Check-out the apparent-trajectory the bullet would have needed to make, in order for it to graze the policeman’s arm.😆😂😂😁 …I rewatched that action sequence several times just to be sure that the several-different angles ‘cut’ in quick-succession for this scene hadn’t confused Me, and feel justified that My funny-bone was correct. What do You-All think?! 😉😄 Thanks so much for uploading all these classic films!

Yea, that sounds like a good idea, what could go wrong. And we even haven’t mentioned the fully dressed and wide awake woman after midnight that seemed scared and was trying to warn him of eminent danger. Doesn’t look like he brought an overnight bag either. Is he planning wearing those same clothes for his entire visit, even after he gets all sweaty and dirty working on a hydraulic press? But, that’s just me.
