This version of the Study in Scarlet follows the original story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle almost to the letter. The epilogue in the jail was one of the additions not in the story. Peter Cushing plays a masterful Sherlock Holmes.
Peter Cushing always so watcheable ..... prvious to this he was Holmes in a TV series around 1965 ..... Grand Moff Tarken his most well known character, he was perfect in that Star Wars role.
A Study in Scarlet in my favorite Sherlock Holmes story, but I don't really care for this dramatization. They take too many liberties with the story although I understand why as filming the flashback as it is in the novel would be very expensive.
Underrated by whom...you? Cushing is highly regarded in memory, past and present as a great actor. You put-down 'critic' types should straighten out your insulting rating system, it's childish of you. Clean up your language.
Ed Bishop , great actor and of voice actor too. Buried at Napton Warks. Not that far from me , I must visit his grave at some point. His voice work was part of my childhood " Captain Scarlet" to name but one.
Interesting to watch, if a little too stagey and rushed BBC adaption. I am not a great fan of Cushing as Holmes but his usual conviction is evident in the role. It makes you appreciate the Granada productions all the more and wonder what they would have made of an adaption of this tale
Anything with Peter Cushing in it is worth watching, add Sherlock Holmes stories & u have a match made in heaven. I remember him from his many appearances on the Morecambe & Wise show. He obviously had a great sense of humour as well as being a brilliant actor.
Aww. Yes. And he is absolutely adorable in interviews. Also paired with Vincent Price and Christopher Lee, you get the loveliest, kindest bunch horror icons in the history of cinema
Mr. Cushing is one of my favorite suspense British actors he could play a wide range of characters I think he should be knighted or should have been knighted. 👍
He was eventually knighted by the queen posthumously,His good friend Christopher Lee commented that it should have been much sooner.He really was a great, versatile actor.A classical scholar in his own right.
I do like this episode. Cushing is still the best Holmes, after Basil Rathbone, in my view. The plot is quite absurd, but the first scene with Holmes and Watson debating the anonymous newspaper article is worth watching again and again. Some good actors even in minor roles, Ed Bishop for one, and glamorous Edina Ronay, who gave up acting and became a fashion designer, just like Anoushka Hempel, who also appeared in Hammer film.
A Study in Scarlet is a problematic story to bring to the screen because more than half of it doesn't involve Watson and Holmes at all, takes place in the US, and honestly is a rather ineffective pulp story. However, the novel does contain the first meeting of Holmes and Watson, both in their mid- to late 20s at the time. That makes it difficult to cast the "traditional", older Holmes-Watson duo (like the one here); the alternative is that you skip that first meeting, thereby cutting out what is really the best part of the novel. Which is what happens here; the most crucial part is missing and Cushing's achievement notwithstanding everyone, including Hope, is at least 20 years too old in this film.
The set people have moved the flat door from right to left. It was never before beside the two windows that was always a floor to ceiling bookcase to match the ipposite side of the windows 😂 l notice decor 😄
They had to pick another Nigel for Watson.
IF Watson Had a brain, He would Take it out and play with it.

They left out the Danite aspect of the story

Ed Bishop=👍
29:34 " the ring you gave me earlier " ???
Basil was the Best
He was great too, my favorite is the great Mouse Detective 🤣👍
It is among the better interpretations of `A Study In Scarlet´, and of course #PeterCushing delivered!
Thanks 😊
💕 all of them. With Cushing the one with the music boxes my favorite.
What a dreadful production. Like a high school theater group at their worst. Too bad too, because this was a good story

Peter Cushing is such an underrated actor no matter the role. He is great!
I agree
It's very bad. Check out the Russian version.
Underrated !!!! that's a new one to me.

@@peterbamforth6453 She's senile, and doesn't know how to compliment a great actor.
Thanks for the upload, I love these 🙂.

When the show starts , Homes is setting down at the table , Then gets up and lights his pipe , And it look like a smoke stack on a Train. LOL.
Peter Cushing can play a rock and be excellent

I am a great fan of Mr. Cushing and all his movies.😊❤ I am sure I love this one too.
I can’t say that I blame Jefferson for two lives for the life of the woman who he loved.
The great Ed Bishop - 2001: A Space Odyssey and the sf tv series UFO.
I had to chuckle as the episode started as the dead young lady in the coffin was clearly breathing, and quite heavily also!
Taking notes on his cuff with a ball point pen 😂
Thanks .
What happened at the very end, when Sherlock threw out his arm? Did the murderer poison himself?

Great!! 😊 They don't make movies like they use to do
Following political correctness..still they could have shown that both of them were evil. They too were murderers.
Very good Holmes, like a stage play
Horribly staged.
Υπέροχα γυρισμενο σαν θεατρική παράσταση οι Άγγλοι πάντα ήταν μετρ στο ειδος
Δεν έχω δει αυτήν την σειρά να προβαλλεται στην Ελλάδα κρίμα υπέροχος και αξέχαστος Πίτερ κουσιγκ❤
Enthralling!
Superb acting all around. Terrible screen play. It's like the writers never read Doyle's work. Was a fun flick, however. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for uploading.
This actor in the coffin, plays a good corpse, not one flinch when the ring came off.

Best ever Sherlock Holmes was Douglas Wilmer!!!!!!!!❤❤❤1964-5:

4 : 13 - for a woman ' forced ' , she is surely eager !
25: 43- even a blind person can see the old lady is a dressed up man. Holmes should go to an optician.
Peter Cushing in his 50's could catch the taxi but not the young navy sailor? Okay
Peter Cushing certainly did a first rate job as Sherlock Holmes. He was a great Thespian, and it's a shame some of his episodes are now gone.
Dammit does any show or movie that has this title stay true to the actual book???
It's Cushing time
this story is heartbreacking
If that's you in picture beside comment please accept as a total compliment but yu look absolutely gorgeous xxxxx
You should be in Hollywood xx
Great rendition and excellent actors! A fun Watson and Holmes mystery. The man playing Jefferson Hope was great also!
