Sherlock Holmes Classics 3 (B&W) Reviews
Sharp & Clear presentation.
This Volume 3 is a surprisingly sharp & clear presentation of the 1954-55 SHERLOCK HOLMES TV series, much better that the presentation on the Madacy 20 episode DVD set.
This is also an improvement on Alpha/Gotham's first two volumes, which were mixed from acceptable to passable. These seem to be direct Film to DVD transfers, the first two volumes look like 3/4 video tape was used as the master source.
HOWEVER, be aware that the first episode on this disc, "RELUCTANT CARPENTER" is mastered from a splicy print. The other three episodes are quite clean.
Highly recommended over the Madacy release.
More episodes from the old TV series
This disk contains the following episodes from the 1954-1955 TV series:
Reluctant Carpenter
Perfect Husband
Royal Murder
Shy Ballerina
All of these episodes are contained in the 20-episode, 5-DVD set just released by Madacy (ASIN B0001Z3TS4). If you're a fan of this TV series, you might want to consider getting that set instead of this disk.
I personally like this TV series. Ronald Howard is more personable than most others who have played Sherlock Holmes - more human - but still quirky and particular. In this series, he seems to enjoy being smarter than the other characters, but he does it with more of a sense of humor, rather then being obnoxious about it. Like any TV series, some episodes are better than others, but I found them all enjoyable.
