The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Vol. 4 (The Greek Interpreter / The Norwood Builder) Reviews
Meet Mycroft in excellent 4th volume of Holmes series
Once again, Jeremy Brett and David Burke are at the top of their game as the immortal Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in the 4th DVD volume of this classic TV series. This time, Holmes must join forces with his even more eccentric brother, Mycroft, in solving the case of a kidnapping involving Greek nationals. In the second case, a young lawyer is accused of murdering a former lover of his mother. Only Holmes can save the lad from the gallows. As always, Brett and Burke are the definitive Holmes and Watson, while Charles Gray (best known for his roles in a couple of James Bond films) is an eccentric treat as Mycroft Holmes. The care and intelligence of this BBC/Mystery series is the same as ever, making this another must have for your Sherlock Holmes collection. Highly recommended.
the Greek Interpreter/The Norwood Builder
What can I say that has not been said before about this great series. Brett is most definatly the quinticential Holmes and these two episodes are definatly "up there" with his oh! many fine performances. In "The Greek Interpreter" Holmes is in a race against time to save the life of a terrified Greek immigrant, forced against his will to consent the hand of his sister in marriage to a most vile suiter. With a small but none the less treasured performance by Charles Gray as Holmes's brother Mycroft, the Victorian sleuth must see if he can overcome a womans love for her lover over that of her brother.
In "The Norwood Builder". Why on earth would a wealthy builder bequest his entire estate to a total stranger, namely the very solicitor he employs to make his Will. But when the builder dies in suspicious curcumstances the solicitor is most certainly the likely suspect. Holmes is in his element as he pits his wits against the energetic "Lestrade" of Scotland Yard. Is the hapless lawyer the perpertrator, or himself a victim of a more materialistic plot linked to a long standing need for revenge.
