Search - The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Volume 3 (The Blue Carbuncle/The Copper Beeches) on DVD

Super Holmes, poor value

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Brett was the definitive Holmes, in my opinion, and the DVDs of his performances are essential to all Holmes fans. That said, these DVDs are lacking in any sort of special features and -- worst of all -- while there were four episodes included on the first volume, there are only two epsiodes each on volumes two and three - at virtually the same price as the first volume."

EXCELLENT SUSPENSE, INTELLIGENT AND DIGITAL SOUND

"This movie held me from start to finish with nary a let-up in the action, plotting and genius. The quality reproduction is perfectly clear to the eye and ear because of digital remastering-thanks. Jeremy Brett is superb as the idiocyncratic savant of honor, observation and invention. How many more are there? Watching this movie reminds me of listening to the radio with rapt attention for any scrap of a clue picked up by the incredible Holmes. The viewer feels like a participant, drawn in to the action, thinking and realism.Thanks all."

Another winning entry in the BBC Holmes series

"Once again Jeremy Brett and David Burke lead the way with excellent portrayals of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson in this: the 3rd DVD volume of the now-classic BBC/Mystery series. With guest turns by a young Natasha Richardson and Joss Acklund, the tales highlighted include a case in which Holmes solves a Christmas jewel robbery and a rather unusual governess position.
The production values are as excellent as always, and Burke's somewhat testy Watson perfectly compliments Brett's eccentric Holmes. Another must have for your DVD Holmes collection and highly recommended."
