best sherlock holmes

It's certainly one of the best;
I also have a strong fondness for 'scarlet Claw', 'Faces Death' and 'pearl of Death'

Pearl of Death and the Pursuit to Algiers are my favs.

This one has an amazing plot, it's just that the incredible amount of buffoonery given to Watson makes this one difficult to watch. It's a Holmes, movie, not a Stooges film. Not fun watching Watson bumble his way into trouble like a child.

Yes, maybe ...
It is difficult to decide, but this one is among the top 5 if not 3 for me. Maybe even at the top?
Sherlock gets pretty human in this one, and not only is Watson bungling more then usual, the good inspector close to dumbness; but also Holmes is not the usual sharp person in here. He is fumbling, rumbling and dumpling about, and on spot, while some 4 or 5 murders occur, just under his nose, and finally it is a mere coincidence that Watson stumbles on the clue that brings Holmes to a full insight. Though there had been clues before, like on the beach, or the state of the dead bodies that even me, the below-average audience, had considered strange and made me consider well before Holmes the possibility that the plot could be as it turned out to be in the end. And this is about the first one, where I had a slight chance to be there before our good hero! ;-)

Fully recommended, I adore this type of old houses immensely, and I'd be too happy to own one like that for myself. The huge and spacious rooms, the high ceilings, and the old furniture, massive, very massive. Though now I deviate from the topic in here, my excuses.

Fully recommendable!

No, but it's very good, the cast is excellent and the atmosphere is rich. I like it better than most in the Forties Uni Sherlock series. They're fun just to look at as much as listen to.

It's atmospheric. Although I reckon that the best three are 'The Spider Woman,' 'The Scarlet Claw' and 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' in this series.
