This black and white tv series from the 1950s was the rendez-vous of countless followers. I’m glad to see somebody thought of rendering a permanent fixture as well as feature of the internet. Thank you PizzaFlix.
you probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can stream all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my brother for the last couple of days xD

That and the methods he uses to try to ignore Sherlock! Reading "Punch" magazine, the "fine" type newspaper, always making tea, cold lobster, Mrs. Wilson's catering...
I thought it was tea. Her husband just died. Bring her a cup of tea. Someone was attacked by a crazy beast. Bring them a cup of tea. Someone doesn't look too well. Bring them a cup of tea. I have heard some crazy happenings when someone called for a cup of tea.
I love these old movies. It didn't matter whether you just fainted or were shot through the gizzard, they gave you whiskey or brandy to revive you. Life saving elixir. I love it.
AND NO gentleman left his house without his trusty flask, and a supply of cigars or his pipe and tobacco. Even Holmes' cocaine and morphine use were tolerated with little more than a frown.
While finding one shoe the story revealing the horrible experience, recollecting memory of shocked frozen throat Housekeeper, at last finding partner and the greed of making money in quite natural and thrilling way.
I love Ronald Howard’s ‘Sherlock’, and remember reading this story in its original form. Two things strike Me as I’ve watched it: 1) The situation of the mute (but beautiful Woman) in distress), and the fact that she regained her speech through an extreme emotional-reaction - involving the Man she loved - reminds Me much of ‘Kilmeny of the Orchard’, one of LM Montgomery’s books of this era. The story otherwise isn’t a match, but I believe that the similarity is probably due to the burgeoning-interest re physical/medical manifestations of emotional/mental-trauma - by the Medical-Community (and Public) at the time these 2-books were written. AC Doyle often included avant- guard medical and psychological ideas/theories of his time in the Sherlock Holmes stories, often ridiculous - but, in this case, legit. 2) Lol; have to laugh at the unrealistic special-effects and action-sequences in these old gems. The climactic confrontation-scene where the shot is fired - hitting a policeman - had Me giggling. Check-out the apparent-trajectory the bullet would have needed to make, in order for it to graze the policeman’s arm.😆😂😂😁 …I rewatched that action sequence several times just to be sure that the several-different angles ‘cut’ in quick-succession for this scene hadn’t confused Me, and feel justified that My funny-bone was correct. What do You-All think?! 😉😄 Thanks so much for uploading all these classic films!
I love the older adaptations of SH, as much as I love Nigel Bruce's portrayal of Dr Watson I am equally fond of the way Howard Marion Crawford throws a punch! 😄❤😁
The young engineer is played by David Oxley who plays the evil Sir Hugo Baskerville in the 1959 adaptation of „The Hound of the Baskervilles“, starring Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes.
These are the times that DO NOT try men,s souls, but give life to all of the performances, and make the times of yesteryear much more appealing than the present day times, thus I feel as did Minever Cheevy, born in the incorrect century
I LOVE these Sherlock Holmes episodes! Thank you for taking the time to post them!! Do you have any other series similar to this one, and clean like these are, already posted? I will be sad when I finish all of these! I'm addicted! lol
We have a few Detective shows you might like including Dangerous Assignment starring Brian Donlevy, Man with a Camera starring Charles Bronson, and Mr. & Mrs. North. Thanks for watching
Watson is wonderful, especially at 2:14. If he only played football for England this year, England would definitely beat the Italians and win the European 2020 Cup!
The man responsible for creating the Sherlock Holmes character, Arthur Conan Doyle, was from Scotland, but his parents were Irish Catholics, from Ireland, who moved to Scotland before their sons birth. As an Irishman myself I take pride in that.

In the book he lost his thumb getting out of the hydraulic press/room when they tried to kill him with it, I bought the book/read it when I was 14 in 1962.
12:49 Let's see now. He met this guy at a train station around eleven-thirty at night, traveled by car for about an hour, and he gets to this house where everyone seems to be up and dressed in suite and tie..... and now he wants to start working on a dangerous hydraulic press in the middle of the night and he is tired. Yea, that sounds like a good idea, what could go wrong. And we even haven’t mentioned the fully dressed and wide awake woman after midnight that seemed scared and was trying to warn him of eminent danger. Doesn’t look like he brought an overnight bag either. Is he planning wearing those same clothes for his entire visit, even after he gets all sweaty and dirty working on a hydraulic press? But, that’s just me.
True but the idea of TV in the 50s was not about gore and graphics. A missing thumb would mean horror. Hence they went with a milder tone such as missing shoe.
How did he lose his thumb? It couldn't have been from narrowly escaping being crushed by a hydraulic press. Your thumb wouldn't be the last body part to exit the thing. A big toe, maybe, but certainly not a thumb.
It’s because the same cast nearly always appear in one ep after another. The blokes change appearance by facial hair and the lasses with wigs and make up! This is why there are 39 episodes cos economies were made by not shipping different casts in every week. 🎸
@@tomsavage7279WalteroftheSea These actors would likely have come out of British 'rep' (repertory companies) where the same group of actors would run through play after play, taking on different characters. Here in north Norfolk, our local theatre is one of the few in the UK that still runs a summer season along similar lines. The constable in the last scene was one of the bilingual French actors who occasionally pick up a bit part in this made-in-France series.
ahh they rewrote this, engineer does not lose a thumb AND gets the girl AND sherlock gets the culprit. Not so in the book. What they retained- engineer still did not get paid 😅 and girl saves the day, er, night ! same in the book
Why didn't she just turn off the machine, unlock and open the door? Or just open the door? And how did he get sooo dirty and out of his jacket in just a couple of minutes? Oh. If she could have kicked in the wooden side wall, why couldn't he have? I am enjoying this though. Thank you for posting.
13:38 Still dressed up and wearing a tie? If I was him, I would have walked out of that house when no one was looking and not looked back. They will obviously kill him after he has served his purpose. Surly they can't let him live and go back to London, and surly they do not want another "partner".
5:00 omg - this one is really a horrid one - how are they going to handle it?. . . the real story has a lot more suspense and gruesomeness - it's an audiobook somewhere on UTube. . . this play was good though - how much can you put into 26 minutes? and i like the romance :}
He was probably weak from shouting for help. MYbe he wrapped his hand in his jacket and tried to bustdown the wall to get out. It looks like the lady just hit the wallhard enough and wham! He is free
Possibly no one would bother to teach her to read or write because she had a disability. Especially if she was an orphan.i admit I know nothing about how Victorians dealt with such cases.
Within minutes the press would have crushed him and yet he had time to remove his jacket lol. The woman who plays the housekeeper (June Crawford and H. Marion Crawford's third wife) isn't very good in this episode she's ok in the laughing mummy and the neurotic detective

Dr Watson was depicted as a surgeon retired in the books. You need brains for that. It wasnt until the tv and movies that they dumbed him down.
He dish out sedatives also
A wonderful remix of the original short story! My thanks to producers who can adapt a classic in such a way.

It's amazing how much Ronald Howard looks like his son Leslie.

6:26 Ah, laudanum and brandy. 2 of the major food groups. Hurrah!
So sad how these two great actors died so young and so tragically
I recognized this one from the cannon where it was called "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb."
I need some Brandy " Holmes please..." I like that Doctor.
👍👍👍💕 thank you‼️
Watson's words were medicine...
That was epikak he swigged from his bottle.
He might have lost his £50 fee, but it seems he found a new love in the process, judging by how he was holding onto her.
Can't blame him really
In my opinion, the best sherlock holmes, howard
Wrong. The best Sherlock Holmes was Jeremy Brent. JEREMY BRENT was SHERLOCK HOLMES.
Excellent
In the book he lost his thumb getting out of the hydraulic press/room when they tried to kill him with it, I bought the book/read it when I was 14 in 1962.
Wasn't it the cleaver on the window sill though?
The woman who was "uninjured but in a deep state of shock," certainly had a very stiff neck while being carried along in the beginning few minutes.
Yes her head should have flopped backwards good catch.
I was amazed at how Watson was able to declare her uninjured just by taking her pulse.
12:49 Let's see now. He met this guy at a train station
around eleven-thirty at night, traveled by car for about an hour, and he gets
to this house where everyone seems to be up and dressed in suite and tie.....
and now he wants to start working on a dangerous hydraulic press in the middle
of the night and he is tired.
Yea, that sounds like a good idea, what could go wrong.

danger.
Doesn’t look like he brought an overnight bag either. Is he
planning wearing those same clothes for his entire visit, even after he gets
all sweaty and dirty working on a hydraulic press?
But, that’s just me.
Yep, it’s just you, not realizing you are watching a show based on a work of fiction.🙂🇨🇦
All the women fainted back then, men’s coats had gaudy checkered patterns and clearly brandy cures everything 😂
In any other story, the woman would’ve simply turned off the mechanical press, and opened the door😂
rather than tear open the wall😂
I was curious if the bad guy gave a thought about how they were going to clean up the mess in the press after he smushed that man. Eww.
This is taken from Doyle's story, "The Case of the Engineer's Thumb." There was no woman in it, and the engineer had a thumb sheered off.
Yes there was a woman in it. A German lady. She wasn't a main character but she was there.
@@theangryholmesian4556 Germans don't count.

@@PhilBagelsin the book, engineer was escaping out the window and the culprit swung an axe at him, caught the thumb ouch
Wow, he said "shitless pulp" (15:50 to 15:52), and this was back in 1955. 🤣😂🤣
😆😆😆 not sure if it was a "shitless pulp" or "shapeless pulp." I definitely prefer the former
He shot in front of him, but the constable was to his side so how did he get injured?
As Holmes tapped the floor, the constable moved from beside the hiding spot to in front of it.
Elementary, my dear AR
I've been watching these and they are great, But I noticed that every bloke has a moustache. Apart from Sherlock.

in the book, girl saves the engineer too, but she escapes with the culprits
This is closely based on the book called the engineers thumb. Why the change of title?
because in this one, he only lost a shoe. no hacking off thumbs.
An interesting plot....somewhat aimless, but regardless, a good SH...

Heard this enough. Good story but a bit tedious. Worth a listen but not three times.
@21:06: So she also lost the ability to write? (This is poor writing.)
The problem was that the police couldn't read.
Possibly no one would bother to teach her to read or write because she had a disability. Especially if she was an orphan.i admit I know nothing about how Victorians dealt with such cases.
My comment was premature. Later I saw that she did write the engineer a note. There was a reference to returning her to a “school” at Bedlam.
But the 'school' was an insane aslym. She regained her voice and confessed that
