A fun 1950s lightweight version of Sherlock Holmes. No brooding. No cocaine or obsessing on Moriarty. It has an easy charm and some fun non Conan Doyle characters like Wilkins and Harry Crocker and the Texas cowgirl. 39 episodes. Wish there were more!
I love Sherlock making the odd boo-boo and Watson getting the last word. Lovely stuff, thanks to RUclips and fabulous folks uploading, these treasures can still be discovered and enjoyed. Love Ronald Howard and H Marion Crawford, their chemistry, characters, and bromance. Lovely muscular manly service revolver toting Watson, matched with cerebral, mischievous and fine looking Holmes. Pure timeless entertainment
An entertaining episode of "Sherlock Holmes" with H. Marion Crawford and Ronald Howard and a good supporting cast. This series maintained interesting plots, pacing and acting. It was well worthwhile watching.
The only Sherlock that portrays the Good Doctor as Conan had intended. Not a bumbling mumbling comic relief but a capable side kick to the Great Detective. Knowing the character Holmes, how could any one think he would associate with such a fool. I think not. Thank you for this great series!
David Burke and Edward Hardwicke both played competent Watsons alongside Jeremy Brett. Martin Freeman also played a competent Watson in the modern "Sherlock" alongside Benedict Cumberbatch. However I agree that the common portrayal of Watson as a bumbling buffoon (as happens in some episodes of this series) is wide of the mark. Watson is a former army doctor who saw active service and received a severe bullet wound. He runs his own successful medical practice. He married twice. In many of the original stories, he shows great courage and some detective ability. He is a loyal friend who is not afraid to be firm with Holmes about his drug use. He is the one who smooths things over when Holmes has been rude, arrogant or insensitive. He writes and publishes the stories of Holmes' investigations, and always presents himself modestly and as a sounding board for Holmes' ideas. He is no bumbling oaf.
@@mercureethepersonality4671 He injected cocaine in a 7% solution. It is mentioned several times in the original stories. Watson, being a doctor, disapproved and they bickered about it. Whenever Holmes was bored between interesting cases, he would fall into depression and take the cocaine to self-medicate. In some stories he also visited opium dens as part of his investigation, and smoked opium. I believe there is also reference to Holmes sometimes taking morphine.
A nice change from the Doctor Watson that I've used all these years. This one is quite capable and more like what I remember in the original stories from my younger readings. Thanks for uploading these!!!
Uh oh, drawing near the end of the 39 Steps to Sherlock Heaven. Thanks PizzaFlix, you've made a lot of people happy and that is no small accomplishment. This episode is superb.
I've always been a fan got hooked when I was young with the Basil/Nigel movies seen all in-between except these, I find them petty good actually for the condensed versions for TV, slightly different slant tho but enjoyable , sure glad I stumbled on to them , thank you all involved from the actually producing of the shows to producing the shows here on RUclips.
A series broadcast before my time but thoroughly enjoying. Ronald Howard is the image of his famous father who's death is still mysterious to this day.
@@patriciajrs46Leslie Howard an actor who appeared in Gone with the Wind and The Scarlet Pimpernel. He died in 1943 when the plane he was in was shot down.
Hi John, This has fasinated me too! Leslie Howard was very much disliked in Germany because of his propaganda films, so he could have been targeted.......but there had been talk that Churchill was to be on the same plane but didn't in the end fly on it. Leslie Howard's speech at the end of Pimpernel Smith would not have gone down well with the Nazi's. If you haven't seen Pimpernel Smith it is a must watch, although a little slow to get going but is a great film!! It is available to watch on RUclips. Dave.
@John O'Connor No problem John, I'm sure you'll enjoy Pimpernel Smith! Leslie Howard was also in the film "First of the few" (entitled Spitfire here on RUclips as that was the American name). It is based around the story of R J Mitchell, the Spitfire designer. It also has many original Battle of Britain pilots in the first part of the film, which is why their acting seems a little wooden. Dave.
I am one of many, the views suggest so, We do enjoy all Quite a-lot and do so with hope your presentations may continue. We thank you and RUclips once again.
So this boys' school is in Belgium, eh? My headcanon for this ep is that before he and Watson headed home, Holmes met one of the other students who hero-worshipped the great detective and confided that he'd like to be a detective himself one day. Holmes laughed, "As long as you can exercise those little gray cells of yours, I've no doubt you'll be a fine detective. Au revoir, young Hercule."
I've only got about 4 left and I've watched them all. What fun. Black and white tv or movies are always enjoyable to watch. Ronald Howard believed the Nazi's had something to do with the death of his actor father Leslie Howard. How sad.
His plane was shot down by the Nazi's, but there were several famous people aboard, including one man who looked like Winston Churchill. No one knows for sure who the target was, but Howard, who was known for his anti-Nazi propaganda films and hated by Goebbels, could certainly have been the reason the plane was shot down.
In the A. Conan Doyle stories he sometimes charges a large fee for wealthy clients in between his pro bono type cases. I believe his brother Mycroft is a financial wizard and advises Sherlock on investments. In one story Holmes secretly buys out Watsons practice to free him up as an assistant and archiver. You may want to keep in mind these episodes here though charming and fun are generally not Arthur Conan Doyle stories. This is Sheldon Reynolds wtiting, Im pretty sure.
@@triciasomogyi5431 Mycroft, as the elder son, may have inherited the estate from the parents who were country squires but I doubt Sherlock is impoverished.
@@suchahermit55 these stories are original stories for the series, not the stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, although some as based in part on Doyle's stories.

(Vagabond Repertory Theater Company-RUclips) This list is not exhaustive. however, these are some of the many actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on stage, screen, radio and TV adaptations.
Which one is your favourite?! I love the performance of Jeremy Brett. I also love the fact that he insisted on becoming an actor when his father disagreed and told him that wasn't a good enough career for his family background!!! He had enough character to choose his own destiny and made a lot of people happy with his work. Cheers to Jeremy Brett!!! A wonderful actor.
@@sarahg3500 : My #1 is also Jeremy Brett. However, there are several others I enjoy watching. I have been searching names for this list since 2017-2018. I have watched and listened to much Sherlock Holmes since I began this journey. Here are some of those I have appreciated watching: Arthur Wontner-1930s; Ron Howard-1950s; Basil Rathbone-1939-1940s; Rupert Everett-2004; Igor Petrenko - 2013; Benedict Cumberbatch - 2010-2016; Robt Downey, Jr -2009-2011. I also found worth mentioning Samuel Tady on the YTube fan performances of Sherlock Holmes. I did appreciate this effort to present our favorite character to us on a media venue at no charge for us to watch.
@@HJKelley47Very interesting, and I will definitely look into your favourites!!! My personal favourite scene is the little speech about having problems to solve as a necessity to occupy his hungry mind, when Jeremy Brett speaks directly into the camera, in the first appearance as Sherlock Holmes for television by Granada studios. It's a wonderful way to keep his magnificent talent alive, his beauty and his eyes, and the genius that made him a perfect Holmes. It's wonderful to hear that you cherish his performance, too!!! In an interview with BBC he said about himself that he was such a good-looking man when he was young and performed in War and peace. I think he is in his prime at the scene I mentioned above. Such an impressive work that he left behind, and he followed his dreams. Even changed his name when his father said, your family name is too good to be the name of an actor!!! This is how he became Jeremy Brett, since Brett was his stage name that he took on in real life, as well. He was beautiful and smart and courageous, he had guts!!! His father wanted him to use the family name once Jeremy Brett had become famous, but he wouldn't do that!!! Twice the right decision!!! Admirable!!!
@@davesheppard8797 : Actually, Michael Caine played the character Reginald Kincaid a drunken out of work actor, who was hired by Dr. Watson to play Sherlock Holmes. It was a funny movie though. It was called Without A Clue, made in 1988. Ben Kingsley played Dr. Watson, the real sleuth solving cases..
when hanging a picture on a wall, is it the hammer or the nail that is the most important? neither......... it is the striking of the nail with the hammer that is the most important...........
I liked the Geoffrey Whitehead series a lot, too and recognised this episode as one of the those they recycled (which is okay I guess since both series were by Mr Reynolds anyway) ~ but somehow this one was a lot less scary; for me the Geoffrey Whitehead version was scarier (then again I am a coward and watch these things with all the lights on eheheh)
Saying the series it´s almost an Agatha Christie´s quality plot, raises the curiosity to follow the others. Holmes is barking at the right tree gere...
The titles in text all start "The Case Of The" making it impossible to see anymore... so every episode is titled the same and impossible to discriminate among them.
@@PizzaFLIX I'm using a large format smart phone... no monitor or laptop. Since all the available title space gets used by the repeating redundant phrase any text that identifies the episode is excluded, seriously disabling usability. Dropping redundancies is common practice for this and many other reasons. Regards, and thank you for these uploads.
A nice time in making movies when men could verbally appreciate a pretty woman and not be attacked by Me Too and other supposed politically correct groups.
Watching this series for the first time, I am astounded by the ineptness of the writers. The simplistic and naive stories are completly lacking in development of deductive reasoning and intrigue of discovery they are an insult to Arthur Conan Doyle. Every story is entirely geared to fit into the 27 minute time slot! I continue to watch the series for a good laugh!
@doctorwho0077 Yes - the stories are shortened to fit the TV time slot. Otherwise they would not exist. I will take the shortened versions over none. (And yes, I have read them).
How disappointing this series is. While Dr. Watson was never a boob in the books, he was also not more in control than Holmes. Holmes knew the train timetables. Holmes wouldn't have overlooked emptying the gun. Holmes wouldn't have not known about fishing, or the location of a village, or any of the other innumerable lacks he is attributed here. The books were wonderful. Movie and television adaptations are almost invariably a disappointment.
A fun 1950s lightweight version of Sherlock Holmes. No brooding. No cocaine or obsessing on Moriarty. It has an easy charm and some fun non Conan Doyle characters like Wilkins and Harry Crocker and the Texas cowgirl. 39 episodes. Wish there were more!
well said!

@Brennan Kohen Yea, been using Kaldrostream for since december myself =)
The Old is gold! This series has been enthralling me. It's classic gems to watch.
I love this series on Sherlock and Watson so much more than any version I have seen so far. Thank you a lot for making it available to us. 🤗💞
A most intriguing mystery.

I love that! Like a Four Alarm Fire.

He was hoping ! Not based on fact 😀 " You aren't the only one privileged to think wishfully, my dear Watson. "
And perfume perhaps on the letter?

Bean David 🤣 I find I forget the endings after awhile so it’s like watching for the first time lol
When I watch I press _like_ so when it comes up again I know if I have seen it
The story of my, life, I don't remember the end...
Love this series
Thrilling and suspenseful. Awesome series.
I'm loving these
I'm hooked. Great series.
I like how this Holmes was more human than most portray him.
This for me is the only Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. And this episode, one of the best!
The actress who played the role of Marie Grande is very beautiful
Nicole Courcel is her name
Ain't youth grand. Lol
Another awesome episode.

Yes, indeed. H. Marion Crawford is quite delightful and not portrayed as an idiot. The outcome was surprising.
That was a good bluff, Holmes. The murderer gave himself away.

Is SH independently wealthy, and if so, how did he get this way? I ask because he rarely gets or discusses a fee for his services.
In the A. Conan Doyle stories he sometimes charges a large fee for wealthy clients in between his pro bono type cases. I believe his brother Mycroft is a financial wizard and advises Sherlock on investments. In one story Holmes secretly buys out Watsons practice to free him up as an assistant and archiver. You may want to keep in mind these episodes here though charming and fun are generally not Arthur Conan Doyle stories. This is Sheldon Reynolds wtiting, Im pretty sure.
He "depends on the kindness of strangers"...
I think he came from family money.

This list is not exhaustive. however, these are some of the
many actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on stage,
screen, radio and TV adaptations.
Which one is your favourite?!
I love the performance of Jeremy Brett. I also love the fact that he insisted on becoming an actor when his father disagreed and told him that wasn't a good enough career for his family background!!!
He had enough character to choose his own destiny and made a lot of people happy with his work.
Cheers to Jeremy Brett!!! A wonderful actor.
@@sarahg3500 : My #1 is also Jeremy Brett. However, there are several others I enjoy watching.
I have been searching names for this list since 2017-2018. I have watched and listened to
much Sherlock Holmes since I began this journey. Here are some of those I have appreciated
watching: Arthur Wontner-1930s; Ron Howard-1950s; Basil Rathbone-1939-1940s; Rupert
Everett-2004; Igor Petrenko - 2013; Benedict Cumberbatch - 2010-2016; Robt Downey, Jr -2009-2011.
I also found worth mentioning Samuel Tady on the YTube fan performances of Sherlock Holmes.
I did appreciate this effort to present our favorite character to us on a media venue at no charge
for us to watch.
@@HJKelley47Very interesting, and I will definitely look into your favourites!!! My personal favourite scene is the little speech about having problems to solve as a necessity to occupy his hungry mind, when Jeremy Brett speaks directly into the camera, in the first appearance as Sherlock Holmes for television by Granada studios. It's a wonderful way to keep his magnificent talent alive, his beauty and his eyes, and the genius that made him a perfect Holmes.
It's wonderful to hear that you cherish his performance, too!!!
In an interview with BBC he said about himself that he was such a good-looking man when he was young and performed in War and peace. I think he is in his prime at the scene I mentioned above. Such an impressive work that he left behind, and he followed his dreams. Even changed his name when his father said, your family name is too good to be the name of an actor!!!
This is how he became Jeremy Brett, since Brett was his stage name that he took on in real life, as well. He was beautiful and smart and courageous, he had guts!!! His father wanted him to use the family name once Jeremy Brett had become famous, but he wouldn't do that!!!
Twice the right decision!!!
Admirable!!!
Hi Kelley,
You missed out Michael Caine!
Dave.
@@davesheppard8797 : Actually, Michael Caine played the character Reginald Kincaid a drunken out of work actor, who was hired by Dr. Watson to play Sherlock Holmes. It was a funny movie though. It was called Without A Clue, made in 1988. Ben Kingsley played Dr. Watson, the real sleuth solving cases..
Probably the best of the episodes . . I deduce . . as I've not seen them all as of yet . . . Still . . That I've seen thus far shall we say?
These are quite addictive aren't they? :)
I love these
French actress Nicole Courcel was superb
Classy!!!
An unusual supertstitious murder which was considered natural death misusing the telepathy boy was very cleverly investigated.
when hanging a picture on a wall, is it the hammer or the nail that is the most important?
neither.........
it is the striking of the nail with the hammer that is the most important...........
A better version exists in the 1979/1980 version, also by Sheldon Reynolds, called Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson with Geoffrey Whithead..
I liked the Geoffrey Whitehead series a lot, too and recognised this episode as one of the those they recycled (which is okay I guess since both series were by Mr Reynolds anyway) ~ but somehow this one was a lot less scary; for me the Geoffrey Whitehead version was scarier (then again I am a coward and watch these things with all the lights on eheheh)
Great movies
I guessed it. yayyy.
Saying the series it´s almost an Agatha Christie´s quality plot, raises the curiosity to follow the others. Holmes is barking at the right tree gere...
Deadly Prophecy is too funny to be believed!
The game is afoot in this movie
Excellent
Almost an Agatha Christie type ending !
Posthypnotic suggestion
Dr. Dimanche, Dr. Sunday.
The titles in text all start "The Case Of The" making it impossible to see anymore... so every episode is titled the same and impossible to discriminate among them.
DKY: what type of device are you using to stream RUclips? I haven't informed of this issue before or experienced it myself.
@@PizzaFLIX
I'm using a large format smart phone... no monitor or laptop. Since all the available title space gets used by the repeating redundant phrase any text that identifies the episode is excluded, seriously disabling usability. Dropping redundancies is common practice for this and many other reasons.
Regards,
and thank you for these uploads.
@@PizzaFLIX
note: RUclips has a new modified menu which, but only if selected, overcomes this issue.
@@DouglasKYoung Took your advice and modified titles. Thanks for helping improve PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
@@PizzaFLIX What a wonderful thing to do, to make a difference because of a viewer's attention.
Was there a pattern?
SLAP!! NOT TONIGHT. lol, classic.
the writers didn’t share the one important clue to pin the guilty.
but i suspected the witch was the red herring.
nice one, still !
relevance... the chalk, the boy (the instruments), the hypnotist (commits the act)....... (just in case no one understood what I meant)

A nice time in making movies when men could verbally appreciate a pretty woman and not be attacked by Me Too and other supposed politically correct groups.
Madame Marie Legrande was an attractive woman.
Although Fiction yet Some Sherlock Holmes stories need colour. Brush n Bucketfulls of If May
Watching this series for the first time, I am astounded by the ineptness of the writers. The simplistic and naive stories are completly lacking in development of deductive reasoning and intrigue of discovery they are an insult to Arthur Conan Doyle. Every story is entirely geared to fit into the 27 minute time slot! I continue to watch the series for a good laugh!
@doctorwho0077 Yes - the stories are shortened to fit the TV time slot. Otherwise they would not exist. I will take the shortened versions over none. (And yes, I have read them).
How disappointing this series is. While Dr. Watson was never a boob in the books, he was also not more in control than Holmes. Holmes knew the train timetables. Holmes wouldn't have overlooked emptying the gun. Holmes wouldn't have not known about fishing, or the location of a village, or any of the other innumerable lacks he is attributed here. The books were wonderful. Movie and television adaptations are almost invariably a disappointment.
Holmes admitted to not emptying the gun. He told Watson that he merely hoped the other doctor would believe it and thereby not try to shoot anyone.
too, good
The gun was loaded ... Jesus
20:16 no not Sherlock Holmes please!
