Sherlock Holmes (TV-1955) THE TYRANT'S DAUGHTER (S1E39)

Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters. This acclaimed series stars Ronald Howard as the world-famous sleuth and H. Marion Crawford in a different portrayal of Dr. Watson than usual.
THE CASE OF THE TYRANT'S DAUGHTER: Cold-hearted Mr. Harringway is so opposed to his stepdaughter marrying Tom Vernon that he offers the young man money to go away. When Harrington is found dead from strychnine poisoning, Lestrade locks up Tom, a chemist, charging him with murder. The Harringway's housekeeper comes to Holmes for help, convinced that Tom could never do such a thing, despite the evidence otherwise.

Well That's it. The final episode. And not a hint in this episode that the series has ended for good and to be lost forever. What a brutal way to end after 39 fabulous episodes. Well it was fun and a joyride. I think everyone must see this and cherish it. Both H.Marion and Ronald were great and fun. They were not over the top and were always on point as characters. I enjoyed them a lot and I will miss it always. Will come to watch again if I forget about it. Thanks Pizzaflix for being the most kindest channel on Earth.

[@emperorhundredhead7007]

Definitely the best series portrayal, as Dr Watson is not made out to be a bumbling imbecile, as he is in the later series with Basil RATHBONE. Those are a complete farce.

[@Vandal_Savage]

Basil Rathbone starred as Sherlock Holmes between 1939 and 1946, these episodes are from 1954...

[@CaptZdq1]

Exactly, it's ''the earlier series with Basil Rathbone.'' And that earlier (movey) series was not a farce at all, it was an excellent series, altho Watson was portrayed as not very bright.

[@redrum4100]

Brett is the man but this is fun. The acting is good and I particularly like that the same actors recycle in different characters throuought the series

[@TheBlueyedblond]

Brett over-acted. Too many facial ticks and pausing to prove his brilliance.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

@@TheBlueyedblond Actually, Brett got so into the character, he became seriously ill with bipolar disorder. He had to take drugs to combat it, and you can see the real effects on him in the later seasons of Holmes. So it wasn't just acting. He really was in real life very much like Holmes acted.

[@Brutus-co9dt]

@@TheBlueyedblond Brett was the most authentic. Fantastic

[@Brutus-co9dt]

@@PointyTailofSatan Brett hands down is the best Sherlock. IMHO

[@GaryCareyMusic]

Jeremy Brett had a very distinctive interpretation. I enjoy his acting but I don't feel it captures the character of Holmes in the original stories. Authenticity isn't everything - for example I love Basil Rathbone for his bravura performance 🙂. Brett created his own version of Holmes which is definitely worth watching. However, I read a lot of fiction from that period and he doesn't quite ring true as a Victorian.

[@keithnaylor1981]

This episode is just so wonderful! It's getting harder to face the fact that I am nearing the last episode!

[@YaamiNagvanshi_JayGopal]

Farewell, farewell to the last episode of the TV show of the great Sherlock Holmes...my heart shall never forget and I shall return to watch time and time again. *Sigh* You've been a great comfort of goodness, pure mind, innocence, natural spirit, a gem of providing a sense of contentment in justice and a better time amidst this muddled chaos of wrong, rotting mentality, unnatural horror and meaningless, hollow garbage.

[@delmaquezada6733]

Ronold Howard is way better than Rathbone

[@YaamiNagvanshi_JayGopal]

Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson and Lestrade are a trio, all three equally essential and important to the spirit of the story and these episode are a joy because of them and their characters, all three complimentary and balancing to provide satisfying coziness in a blanket with hot chocolate. I could rewatch this more than ten times again and again. Lestrade is lovable in his own way too, though bumbling fool, but its his tiffs that add delight and comfort not to mention I adore his Irish manner and look (he's like their only friend)...Dr. Watson is kind and sympathetic (kind of like a worried elderly grandfather), and Holmes is Holmes (kind of like a small boy, grandson)...all three are similarly needed in the story, the absence of either and it just wouldn't be the same :-) !!!

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

One of the better ones. Poor Lestrade: he never learns. Thanks for the upload.

[@melvynobrien6193]

Great episode; really funny. LOL when I heard the maid say, "Hush!" and "A thousand blessings." Not Conan Doyle's stories, but an excellent series nevertheless; and the recurring actors and bit players enhance the viewing experience.

[@pmlm1571]

This is my favorite Holmes and Watson. I have watched this series three times through. Love the fun friendship, love the sweet and brilliant detective and his warm and energetic friend. Great writing and casting! THANKS1

[@kerranky]

I prefer these two characters best, they seem to gel together.

[@johnshields6852]

At first I wasn't to keen on this show, but it's got its own quirky way of story telling, now I'm binge watching.

[@cindysloan177]

This Lestrade is better than the Lestrade in the Rathbone series, who was an absolute fool. Lestrade IS a fool but he's still employed by Scotland Yard. He should act somewhat capable before Holmes makes mincemeat out of him.

[@walterwheeler5465]

A very good episode of "Sherlock Holmes" featuring H. Marion Crawford and Ronald Howard and a good supporting cast. The plot, pacing, and acting made this an entertaining program to view. One of the other comments mentioned that the actress who played "Janet" was not listed in the closing credits. I twice looked at the credits and sure enough, the actress who played the role of Janet was not listed.

[@annarogers924]

Man I've been loving all these little films for ages helps me chill out cheers

me too, i put them on to help me go to sleep. I have seen them so many times that seeing another sherlock holmes with these characters I like very much.

[@rolandcolyer5199]

Excellent! As ad devoted Holmes fan I cannot imagine how I missed this one.

[@CuteDwarf11]

I prefer the Lestrade in this version to the one with Basil Rathbone because in the series with the latter, the said inspector was a totally useless idiot... not that he was any better here, but at least he wasn't as annoying.

[@haroldwilkes6608]

During this era of television in the US, most of our "actors and actresses" were more suitable for burlesque or vaudeville than for serious acting...the Brits were pros.

Does anyone know what year this was first filmed ? I love seeing the year they were made in. For a lack of a better way of putting it ?

All apologies, but if the young scamp wanted the oil of cloves to conceal the smell of booze, he could only achieve this desired effect by drinking a bit, not by putting a glass bottle in his pocket. And if he had drunk a bit, Mrs. Duggan and the constables would probably not have turned so readily to the disappointed suitor as a poisoner.
