Sherlock Holmes - Best of: The Complete TV series (1954)

Description

BEST OF SHERLOCK HOLMES OVER 19 HOURS of CLASSIC TV This remarkable DVD collection brings together the entire 39-episode run of America's very first Sherlock Holmes TV program (and the only one prior to 2012's Elementary). Airing in 1954 and 1955, this series featured the famed detective in all-new mysteries written directly for the small screen. Starring Roland Howard, son of Scarlet Pimpernel swashbuckler Leslie Howard, this version of the story featured a fascinatingly laidback Holmes for the 1950s. In accordance with producer Sheldon Reynolds' kinder, gentler vision, Howard's Holmes cooperated closely and even somewhat chummily with his trusty sidekick Dr. Watson (played by likeable Howard Marion-Crawford). It's deer-stalker capped derring-do of a very different sort, and a pleasant change of pace for the Baker Street aficionado. 39 EPISODES * The Case of the Cunningham Heritage * The Case of the Lady Beryl * The Case of the Pennsylvania Gun * The Case of the Texas Cowgirl * The Case of the Belligerent Ghost * The Case of the Shy Ballerina * The Case of the Winthrop Legend * The Case of the Blind Man's Bluff * The Case of Harry Crocker * The Mother Hubbard Case * The Case of the Red Headed League * The Case of the Shoeless Engineer * The Case of the Split Ticket * The Case of the French Interpreter * The Case of the Singing Violin * The Case of the Greystone Inscription * The Case of the Laughing Mummy * The Case of the Thistle Killer * The Case of the Vanished Detective * The Case of the Careless Suffragette * The Case of the Reluctant Carpenter * The Case of the Deadly Prophecy * The Case of the Christmas Pudding * The Night Train Riddle * The Case of the Violent Suitor * The Case of the Baker Street Nursemaids * The Case of the Perfect Husband * The Case of the Jolly Hangman * The Case of the Imposter Mystery * The Case of the Eiffel Tower * The Case of the Exhumed Client * The Case of the Inpromptu Performance * The Case of the Baker Street Bachelors * The Case of the Royal Murder * The Case of the Haunted Gainsborough * The Case of the Neurotic Detective * The Case of the Unlucky Gambler * The Case of the Diamond Tooth * The Case of the Tyrant's Daughter
