Sherlock Holmes

19/10/2006

Wow aint this like a new toy. So much to write and so little time. I just got this Sherlock Holmes DVD, black and white on the Hound of the Baskervilles, one of the all time classic, suspense stories with a touch of the supernatural about it.

Sherlock is played by Basil Rathbone. Thats him on the left. What a handsome man he is! Tall, lean, with acquline features (well not exactly acquiline, but with a long and chisseled nose), Rathbone is the essential Holmes. Jeremy Brett after him is a poor replacement.

He must be an advertisment for the Nordic Race, is Rathbone. His sharp, whip like resonating voice and bearing and manner, all make him a real hero.
Can I post a picture of him here? I'll try.
