- Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters. This acclaimed series stars Ronald Howard as the world-famous sleuth and H. Marion Crawford in a different portrayal of Dr. Watson than usual.
THE CASE OF THE EIFFEL TOWER: The body of a sought-after spy is found on a London street; in his pocket is a French coin and a note for an appointment that morning. Holmes keeps the dead man's appointment, which leads him, Watson and Lestrade to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Before the case is closed, the three in up in a French nightclub full of scandalous showgirls, to the embarrassment of Watson, and a riot, which Lestrade enjoys starting. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
The more I see this series and the more I like it, and prefer it over the other Sherlock Holmes. The humor in this series is absolutely charming. Thank you so much for all your uploading, PizzaFlix! Many, many thanks.
Same i was bored for so long time until see this.
Prime time!
Agreed.
the best!
doctorwho0077 Basil Rathbone as Sherlock , Nigel Bruce as Watson
i love how watson is so nervous about talking to a bunch of floozie girls this really is the best adaptation of sherlock holmes especially since watson isnt portrayed as a bumbling fool and you can see the friendship and respect between him and holmes
It’s not an ‘adaptation’, just using the names of the characters from the original books. A lot of fun, but otherwise no connection at all.
Well spoken, I laughed also at Watson!
@UkOutreach I know, really the most valuable part about this series is that you can see what was a 50s interpretation of culture. Which isn't to say it's bad, it's great - I'll jump in and out of stories with these characters whenever I get a chance. It's just true that it's not telling stories from the time it's showing, it's straight up TV writing.
Holmes talking Watson into inviting the girls is delicious. Marion Davies' 'stereotypical Englishmam' has humour yet sincerity, and his chemistry with Howard is tops.
Believe it or not, the entire series was actually shot in Paris France, and the English sets, including Baker St. were in Paris as well. Also, many of the other actors in the series were French, and used fake English accents. Lastly, the series was financed by an American, and the series was created for an American audience, which loved the series! So all and all, this is probably one of the least English Sherlock Holmes series ever made!
"But how do you know?"
But I still like it,as well as those with Basil Rathbone
@@jaig Look below, you will know it too😉.
Very interesting!
I know that
Wow those girls! such energy and talent. Saw the jump kicks then falling splits. They really worked hard for their money. God Bless them 🙏❤️
It ends with " Sherlock Holmes goes to jail." Great episode.
Those girls are can-can burlesque dancers. Also high-class prostitutes.
It was just an excuse for mild porn.
I'm sure there were places where they didn't wear underwear, but cost more to get in. 😂
The French actress is such a gorgeous lady. The song was also very beautiful. I like the atmosphere and aesthetics of this SH series, I only wish they went on longer and more episodes were made 🌹👌
In my humble opinion ALL of FRANCE is a gorgeous place, including all of the beautiful women 😊
*And the pianist strikes up an energetic, jaunty tune just in time for the brawl*
Lestrade tells the cabby “221B Baker St. - and hurry!” So the cab zooms off at 5 mi. an hour! We live in an amazing time now!
Bill H. No problem! Easy enough mistake. I’ve been called all kind of names! lol
Bill H. You too!
Current average traffic speed in London is 7.5 mph
Dirk Bruere Are you serious?
@@ruthmaryrose Yes . This is 2018 data. Note that Baker St is Central London
www.london.gov.uk/questions/2019/19767
I love it when Lestrade runs the mile in about 2 seconds at the Eiffel tower... 😂
😂
Makes you wonder why he needed the cab to 221b to begin with. Moreover why they needed a boat/train. Sherlock and Watson could’ve piggybacked on him and made it to the tower in half the time easily.
For what was happening, in this episode...it is much too short and should have a 2nd part, because it was never properly concluded!
I'm loving these shorter stories. So full of fun and laughter. Thank You So Much for posting these films for us. They are delightful.
So many SH movies/shows out there. Always finding a new version with different actors. This was indeed a great one from the 1950s Thank you
One of my absolute all time favorite Sheldon produced Sherlock Holmes. A strange ending, unfulfilled really, but it had a little bit of everything else that made this 1950's tv serial so well done. I truly enjoy watching many of the same actors playing different parts over the 30 plus episodes; just a lot of fun. The gentleman who played the part of Harry Crocker (sp) was especially entertaining in every episode he played -- such a wild enthusiastic character each and every time. In this episode, I enjoyed the personal visit to the French night club and the dancing girls; I'm sure that is now a lost art...
Jack Sternquist Where is Mrs Hudson.?
At home, in Baker Street.
Love these old shows. Bring backs some great memories.
Me: Watches Sherlock Holmes
My brain: *DETECTIVE SKILLS 100*
Since I have trouble sitting through long shows and that I love Sherlock Holmes, these are perfect for me. I have grown to love Howard as Holmes and Crawford as Watson. This series is quaint and entertaining and I prefer it over some of the movies. Thank you Pizzaflix
I had to laugh when Watson and the two crooks ran down the stairs at the Eifel Tower while Holmes calmly road down in the elevator. LOL.
Thought Sherlock would have palmed the coin and threw another out of his pocket. In the air no one could tell what kind of coin it was.
Yes exactly I found that to be odd to that he would randomly throw up important coin off the tower! The wind could have taken it in many directions on the way down... and it seems this one just ends nothing is ever solved.
This seems to have a calming effect on me
Star Child No kidding!
Me too! I watch it before bed
I know it, these oldies are Goldees. Another time and place where we use to live, seems very pleasant. 😉
This Masterpiece is defined as Couch Glue!
I dare Youse to miss one second…
Truth lol
"As long as we're in Paris, we might as well have an episode taking place at the Eiffel Tower".
When they made this episode the Eiffel tower was still relatively new. Only 60+ years old!
this was supposedly 1897 or so, and Eiffel opened in 1889, so the boys went on a holiday 😅
@@johanne577 Actually I was referring to the fact that this series was filmed in Paris. And as long as they were in Paris, an episode taking place at the Eifel Tower was practically inevitable.
I still love these short stories it was refreshing to come across something I haven't seen thanks for posting them 😎🔎
Those can-can dancers are all very beautiful, also very gorgeous, but I cannot think 🤔 of more to say , because there really is no more to language extent to praise all of them ❤
Another fine episode from the 1954-55 series. The primary and supporting cast are first rate. This continues to be an entertaining series from over six decades ago.
Ahh, yes, you again. Correct I might add.
Walter Wheeler The only person missing is Mrs Hudson.
Much appreciated. Thank you for all your effort. A real viewing pleasure, and I am referring to the entire playlist.
Thank you for this! Me and my crew talk about this entire series on Saturday Matinee Theater on the Longbox Crusade network!
I enjoy this and think it is harmless to watch for relaxation and 'company;.
Dear Dindo Nuffin, How you do that! ? Oh, and by the way : dot and two spaces IS required before "Who is Bart Simpson?" :^)
Oh, all right then, where did you learn about the asterisk gimmick?
You know that is Leslie Howard's son in the part of Sherlock in this series . In the film Gone With the Wind , Leslie played Ashley Wilkes. Of course his son looks exactly like him !!
Omg!!! I kept saying to myself that he reminds me of someone! He does resemble his father!
I like it so so so so so so much. In seeing these all series i think myself sherlock holmes really he is a great man😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
I watch these shows all the time, just to make sure i have seen them all :)
Kathleen Lynch they have become like a comforting habit...
As a young, but bona fide, flower child (almost 67), I must say that is one of the most entertaining TV episodes (or any medium of art) I ever saw! Higher praise cannot be given, as we have been SATURATED with great entertainment, we boomers, all our lives...
Absolutely love this show!
I'm watching again, and I'm getting my 28 year old son to engage in the closest thing we have to time travel and go back to the days of Gaite Parisienne!
Thoroughly enjoying all the episodes of Sheldon Reynolds' Sherlock Holmes series even the compilation of some rare ones he did shown last week. I have been lucky enough to catch some of these earlier episodes on television, but it is extra special to find others here. Thank you, PizzaFlix! ❤️
At 3:00, I thought the man going to 221 baker st sounded a bit like commissioner Gordan getting ready to call batman.
As usual Paul Durand’s innovative background music lifts the already very enjoyable production to another level.
What an utterly delightful episode particularly their soirée with the can can. girls.Thats what I love about he SH episodes starring Howard, Marion-and the gentleman playing the role of Lestrade ! There is so much quintessential wonderful British humour tempered with the right amount seriousness and sobriety when required !
I truly enjoyed these, thank you so much for sharing!
Back when the top of the Eiffel Tower was considered "somewhere private" 😊
This episode was grand, just grand!
Damn, that Lastrade is super swift........he ran 2 to 3 miles away from the tower in less than 10 seconds, even quicker running back and not a drop of sweat.....amazing.
They fast forwarded the film 4-6x normal speed.
This is the best can-can :)
Thank you for the education about this series.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX. May the Sauce be with you.
well done dancers on a tiny stage.
Thanks again for the upload. The plot and its development were amongst the most ridiculous I've seen, but it was still charming.
When the lady says "Au Revoir"...does Lastrade really say "olive oil"? Most amusing!
Funny to see Sacha Pitoeff, a very good actor, appear as the villain in this episode!
Un vrai plaisir 😘😂🤗 merci encore.
I like the humour and lightheartedness of this series. The later series, with Jeremy Brett, is better acted perhaps, but much less fun.
My FIL likes Jeremy, so I tried - I can see his talent - but, to me, that version s so 1990s pretentious, a total bore
Thank you 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
You had to have already watched a lot of episodes to fully appreciate that last scene....the best adjective I can find is DELICIOUS!!!
Wonderful encapsulation of 💘
Whew! Talk about strong women! Just wow! I did meet a former Rockette who was beautiful and slim and fit looking at 103. She was very shy but thrilled when I spoke of her dance years and wanted to know more. She had run away to join them as her family was not happy about it. She only danced a couple of years, I think. I met her about 6 years ago. Sadly, she died a few months after I met her.
In this case I really am viewer #232222 and it just so happens this is my favorite episode of the Entire Series. Possibly because of the humor. Thanks! [sent 20201218L from la cage aux folles] this reminds me of everything GOOD, Offenbach, The Three Stooges, Gunsmoke, etc. :*)

This list is not exhaustive. however, these are some of the
many actors who have played Sherlock Holmes on stage,
screen, radio and TV adaptations.
Nit-pickers will call out Watson for referring to the tower as "Mr. Eiffel's steel tower". It is actually made of wrought iron. :)
Could you be that very nit-picker?? Be honest now. Lol
Awesome video!!
You can tell Holmes is the smartest one there because he's the only one who thinks to take the lift... lol
Sherlock and Watson were waiting for a fight in 24:03 and Sherlock was eyeing someone offscreen maybe the director 😆
This series introduces just a hint of these men having an interest in women, unlike earlier productions, for example, the bromance of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce
Adventures & Survival in Thailand I never thought for one minute there was a “bromance” in Sherlock Holmes. People like to read too much into stuff. If that were true it never would have made it on tv or the movies.
most pleasant episode
That was a real 'Johnny English' move by Holmes... to take the elevator down to catch the criminals. Why waste the energy!
I love how Holmes doesnt even consider or explain that it couldn't be tower of London
I am a fan of the Carlton Hobbs radio version of Holmes. I also like the one with john Gielgud.
I like the little joke that was played here.... the series were recorded. in France ! Sherlock didn't have far to travel.
Thank you for these uploads......such fun..
This series was filmed in France....the stairs are still there on the Eiffel tower..225 IIRC.
Cordialement,
Tres belle Musick 😊
Sherlock Holmes would of examined the coin as soon as he got it and known its secret, these adventures are light comedy with poor English accents from supporting members of the cast but are still enjoyable to watch.
There's no way you can compare these to Basil Rathbone's version of Sherlock holmes. He was the one and only Holmes in my view🔎🔎🔎
Should have taken the high speed train through the Chunnel . London to Paris in 2 hours. .... I’m kidding
Excellent
I guess when they went to disassemble the tower it was gonna be difficult to remove all those rivets.
Cheerio! Good Show!
Leslie Howard's brother. Ronald was a good Sherlock Holmes . I've seen several episodes. Leslie Howard played in Gone With The Wind and later played a masked a avenger in The Scarlet Pimpernel. He was killed during World War II when the plane he was on was shot down during a War Bond drive. The Nazis thought that Winston Churchill was on the plane but it was one of his doubles. It also claimed the life of Clark Gable's wife.
Ronald was Leslie Howard's son, not his brother. Very like his father, but more robust.
@@danceswithbadgers My mistake. He looked old enough to be a brother. I just liked him as Holmes.
@@wesleycook7687 He's very good as Holmes. I like these well enough but some of the denouements are a bit rushed because of the short format. More time would have allowed deeper characterisation too, which I'm sure Howard was capable of. Given the format, Howard's is a commendable portrayal.
😍 Awesome
I love this episode
Politeness is never wasted...unless
Must have lost something........or something is missing. What was that coin anyway,why All the story????
+ heaerglen: this series is made in 1954/1955, afther Rathbone. And this ep. is not the case of the exhumed client, but the Eifeltower.
Well now it's obvious SH cannot speak better French than I can myself speak English. My own favorite version. Remember though London's Baker St was way broader than shown in this series.
These beautiful ladies/ women are very easy on the old, tired eyes VOILA!😊
Enjoyable.
Enjoying based on coin and a note at Eiffel Tower and Night Club could only be achieved by the one and only Holmes with his accurate deductions,clever operation and cautious appoach supported by Dr Watson and Inspetcor Lestrade.
Great !
What a frantic messed up can-can dance!
We all know the genre "buddy films"! This has to be the precursor of the term, I believe. Not including comedy duos
Paris was SO cool back in the mid-'50s!,...it's almost gone now., such a shame they allowed such changes.,...great looking "bad guys" too!
The ending was too abrupt. The story seemed too incomplete. The Case of the Coin would have been a more appropriate title.
Very fine types of actors, especially inspector! It is amazing, how truthfully they shoed the real stupidity of policemen!
Lestrade covered about a mile or two in a trice from the tower. Must be in shape. Bolt would be envious.
I love this series،،
That's the beauty of being an Inspecktor. You just can't arrest him (#### X 🔥 3 )
very clever trick.
This is getting absolutely eye full if cheese inspector.
Oh No! Only 12 left in the series to watch!!! "221 B Baker Street, and hurry!" And the horse casually takes off at a slow trot! Eiffel Tower? I thought they meant the Blackpool Tower!!!
Robes fling like flags..
'orrible, 'orrible rolling boat.............. it was a ferry across the channel..... HAHAHAHAHAHA
Wow the French is much more accurate than the "Portuguese" from the Diamond Tooth episode!!! 😃
Nice! Where can I find the following episode ? Regards,
The girl was really very beautiful .Wish i was born a 100 years ago😊
OK but not really, right? What you mean is you wish you could time travel until you needed vaccinations or a bathroom, right? And you would return to the future with all the clothes.
MR madhurst, the correct english is. .. I wish I WERE born…
Thanks for correcting me.@@ronaldmessina4229
@@ronaldmessina4229 Your sentence "Wish I was born a hundred years ago." is colloquial and commonly used in informal spoken English. While some might argue for using the subjunctive "were" in formal or more precise contexts, the use of "was" in informal settings is widely accepted and often preferred in everyday conversation. Both "was" and "were" can be considered correct in different contexts, and your sentence is grammatically acceptable for informal communication.
