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 VIOLENT SUITOR: As newspaper columnist "Aunt Lottie", Alex Doogle advised a young lady not to marry her violent fiance. The angry man showed up at the office, gave Alex a black eye, and ordered him to tell the woman he'd given bad advice. Alex seeks Holmes' help to stop the wedding after recognizing the fiance as Jack Murdock, a brutal criminal who's after the wealthy heiress' money. Homes thinks there's even more to the story considering the recent death of the young woman's father.

    Holmes and Watson laughing like little boys after Lestrade got caught in that net, and in the carriage is so refreshing and heartwarming to watch.
  • Every Holmes is different. Rathbone is deadly serious. Brett is half insane. And Howard plays him like a boy in an amusement park. lol

    I visited 221b Baker Street when I was in London (it is now the Sherlock Holmes Museum) and it was absolutely fascinating -- really whisked me back in time. Can highly recommend it.
  • Sherlock Holmes just operates on a different level than the rest of us
  • The most beautiful and bizarre episode in this vintage series! Thanks for making it available to the self isolated.

    For 1954, I think this was ahead of its time. Not just the scripts and the fine acting, but the lighting, sets and audio was way above average. The Holmes and Watson characters are vastly different than the beloved Rathbone and Bruce, but Howard and Crawford are more truthfully more convincing. Moreover, Lestrad and his faithful sidekick are perfect.

    This episode is so dear to me because Ronald Howard looks like my Grandpa Lyle. and Grandpa was a tailor. He also mentioned the buttoning that women do to the one side and men to the other. This episode just perfect for that.
  • This one was really enjoyable! "I shall call you Auntie Lottie." "Really Watson. This time you have gone too far!"

    Sherlock Holmes shows us how we should all operate, on a higher level

    I too am addicted to these episodes. Thanks, Pizzafix! Did anyone else notice that the section of film where H&W arrive at Scotland Yard is always the same, with them alighting from the carriage and the same lady always crossing the street?
