As a nice guy for once. He is always the killer/monster/villain. Here he is the victim and it's good to see. Shrewd casting by Terence Fisher and the folks at Hammer.

I agree. Lee has played good characters on occasion, but they still tend to be very much in charge and are seldom vulnerable as Sir Henry was.

The glower on his face was still there though. I expected him to go for Cecile's throat at any moment.

Just like he did against that Nazi he stabbed in WWII.

He made a pretty good Sherlock Holmes too in these tv movies he did in the early '90s.
