Basil Rathbone films were all war propaganda and i dont enjoy them very much.But yes Jeremy Brett is excellent! "A singular set of people,watson!"

: : Brett wasn't an "action hero" type actor but then Holmes wasn't an action hero. I guess he was more of a "cerebral hero". Anyway, I can't imagine anyone else playing a better Holmes.

: : Abner

: : : Too bad they haven't yet found a Holmes in the same league as Connery and Ford -- who play the other two great heroes.

: : : -- Dirk

: : : : The game's afoot!
: : : : i love sherlock holmes!

: The shame is that he only did two that were in period, "The Hound of
: the Baskervilles" and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". The rest,
: though inferior, were entertaining. Brett is the only one, to his
: credit, before he died, to have filmed the Doyle stories the most
: faithfully. And he did look just like those original "Strand" illustrations.
: Cheers,
