- 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 PERFECT HUSBAND: On their first wedding anniversary, Russel Partridge informs his wife that he will kill her tomorrow night at 9 o'clock--and that she will be his eighth victim. Believing Janet's story, Holmes has the couple's house searched by Scotland Yard, but nothing incriminating is found. Holmes comes to Janet's aid just before her scheduled time of death, sure her husband is a precise man of his word. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
That was such a hard core reveal at the end for such a light hearted interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. Kudos to them for having the guts to do this back then.
It is amazing how well written and acted these 30 minute shows were!
Back when tv produced quality entertainment!!
They captured the mind of a serial killer and the actors nailed it. This program is so old, yet actually still is on point about serial killers. The episode actually makes you think. Wow!
I can picture the role of the "perfect husband" being played by Vincent Price when he was at the peak of his career and played twisted characters.
What I was saying is that Micheal Gough was a fabulous actor and very creepy here. Lestrade was first class and the lack of humour in this one was totally appropriate. Great edition of the show - bravo!
I got a shiver up and down my spine when the tombs were discovered. A fantastic episode, the horror lingered in my mind for a long time!
This one always spooked me the most of all the Ronald Howard episodes.
Third viewing of this episode. Wonderful HD quality. Beautiful period feel, just look at her stunning dresses, but what makes this one so special is the absence of the usual humour. This episode is deadly serious!!!

This is my favorite episode. Such a good one. It’s sad how many women have been killed by abusive crazy husbands because nobody took them seriously. Same for abused men.
Agree.
This woman was lucky to meet such a man as Sherlock Holmes.
Typically men internalize their pain and tend to self harm at least that's how I dealt my situation, as far as abused women it's a tragedy it still is ignored
Still happening now there is no justice for women and children in any country😢😢😢😢😢😢
Well, thanks to you I don't need to watch this now 😑
Michael Gough was a very skilled actor. Always enjoy watching his work.
Love this series. Is like an old radio show. Comfortable and great bedtime company. Just resting my eyes 😌💤
Perfectly put! Indeed!
I’m watching in 2020 , anyone else?
Yes
Yes. And i like it.
yes I'm watching from laos
Yes, and I was fascinated to find that Ronald Howard is the son the Leslie Howard, one of my all time favorite actors. The family resemblance is amazing.
Me.
Most insane killer ever met, the perfect husband had thrill until last second, perfectly presented a serious murder plan so lightly.
The first two weren't bad, but this one was fantastic. Credit to Michael Gough, one of my favorite screen villains. RIP Michael.
Excellent acting all around!
By far the best episode of the series and the most movie worthy.
Sir Conan Doyle would have gave a thumbs up!
I remember watching this episode when I was nine years old, and until now, I'm still blown away each time I watch it.
Thank you for this excellent episode!!!
I shouldn’t have watched this episode while trying to go to sleep. This may be the most unsettling episode of the series!
Perhaps you should check under your steps!
@@redradio69englebert99 lol
aaaagh me too
I don't know why, but Michael Gough has always given me the heebie jeebies. He's an excellent villian.
He played Alfred, the butler, in the first four of the Batman movies, at the age of 82 or so. He died in 2011 at the ripe old age of 94.
@@jdrancho1864 I recognised him first from his voice and then by staring at him ~ I'd watched Alan Badel's Count of Monte Cristo way too often not to remember Michael Gough as Villefort (and even then I'd only recognised him as Alfred from Micheal Keaton's Batman).
And yet, I wouldn't have minded having him as my own Alfred to Bruce Wayne, which was the first time I ever saw him when I was a kid ~ his kindness to Bruce really impressed me in a sweet old grandfather kind of way ^^ All the same, I think the heebie jeebies might come from his voice and his eyes ^^;
Yes, it's his eyes. He can't disguise those eyes.
He sldo played the part of the KGB chief in the TV series "The Avengers", with Patrick McNee and Diana Rigg
These never get old. I binge watch these as well as the ones with Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce.
Cool adventures, no cursing, great story, cool plots with twists, and turns. Enjoyable ❤
Nice way for this episode to end, with the clock symbolically striking nine to show that Janet has been saved just as Holmes catches her when she faints, and Watson prevents her husband from escaping.
At least The Inspector took her serious enough to have her watched.
Well done in such a short time slot on a minimal budget.
What a thriller! Thank you so much for posting all these wonderful shows for us.
Happy Holidays! May the sauce be with you.
This one is one of more intense episodes
Mr. Russel Partridge played by Michael Gough, best known for playing the butler Alfred
But before that, he had a long stretch of playing really sick bastards. See KONGA, HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM, the 1962 PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, TROG, etc.
I'm here from 2020 chaps!
so what
who cares? if you have nothing of interest to say just shut up
Wonderful! Thank you, PizzaFlix! This episode reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock. While it is very short it is also very suspenseful. Watching during the Pandemic, July 2020.
Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX
I am watching in 2019. Anyone?
Yes...me...I just popped in and was caught up in the story...
Again
Matter of fact.
YES 😆👋
I am...
Yes, I watch this one quite often. I find the feral appearance of Russell vs sweet Janet mesmorizing.
Narcissists are excellant actors....they fool the trusting, the kind, the loving
Yes my mother is one
And the fools which most of humanity are anyway
Could be a high functioning psychopath as well.
Wonderful!! They can never make something like this in our time, although there are much more psychopats now then ever before!!!!!
I am watching it in January 2021. Love these blokes of yesteryear. Little did I realize at the time how nice those years would stand out compared to today in America.
That was one of the most insane episodes I have ever watched.
IKR? I was 9 years old when this series was broadcast during the classics hour, and this particular episode stuck with me for months after I watched it; it still blows me away whenever I watch it.
Gaslighting. It's a technique used tenby the socio/pycho...
Seeing that many dead and where.... I'd faint too, Janet.
Thank you 👏👏Not the pompous Holmes and his blustering, dithery sidekick we normally see.
I so agree. Basil is an apt Holmes but a bit too full if himself.
An excellent episode in this fine series of "Sherlock Holmes."
This was my favorite among all the episodes, followed by Blind Man's Bluff, The Violent Suitor, The Belligerent Ghost, and The Mother Hubbard Case.
@Shirley Bailey He was the first Sherlock Holmes I watched, and I must admit, I was totally charmed by him. Basil Rathbone and Peter Cushing are tied in second.
Crawford: The best Watson actor hands down.
This Watson character is by far the best.
Fantastic chemistry with Sherlock, too.
I could not help noticing that Watson's moustache is a bit off kilter.😂
Yes, I too love these guys. But every viewer here loves the period, the manners, the dress, the dialog, the friendships. We love what we see, AND WHAT IS ABSENT. And we overlook foibles. Come on, Watson remarks that there is only one revolver, so a dopey audience can grasp the significance, and then he puts it back it the drawer to run off unarmed to the scene of an up and coming murder! Hilarious. And there are many such.
Yep.. watching in 2018.
Love the classics... they won't be repeated again by our society. Sad.
Very enjoyable...Ronald Howard does indeed make a good Holmes! Thank you for posting.
I'm watching it in 2019!
THIS IS A REAL TREAT:
An episode from the Ronald Howard Sherlock Holmes series in VERY good quality, with authentic period sets and outfits, and, not only do we get all that BUT, in an EXTREMELY rare occurrence , for a programme on CZcams, we get SYNCHRONISED SOUND!!!
Thank you so much PizzaFlix.
I must look out for more of these.

So am I. Watching in 2019. Love this series before my time.
Watching in 2019....kept me on the edge of my seat! Well-done!!
2020 update: this is my favorite episode...I've watched it many times.
I am watching in 2020. Anyone?
no
yes and in 2021!
An excellent episode! One of the best.
Easily the darkest episode in the series. Gaslighting decades before gaslighting was really a thing. What I love about this series is that it has a wide spectrum. You have the more serious episodes, then you have the average ones, then the ones that are absurdly comedic. I would imagine this would be a terrible idea for most series, especially a Sherlock Holmes one, but it just seems to work here for some reason. I've seen everything SH up till the really new ones that I couldn't tolerate. This series remains a really good one among them, Holmes and Watson are great here.
Gaslighting has always been a thing, certainly before there were gaslight!
Loved it! One of the best . . . . rivals Basil Rathbone!!!
I like the cooperation of the team of Sherlock and Scotland Yard
Bravo the actor playing the "insane killer".
Michael Gough, a good 'Alfred', too.
My favorite Holmes series!
deliciously written !
1. SH is very observant right at first meeting
2. villain quite scary psycho
3. victim believably scared, as am I
4. Watson right on time
5. music sounds like Phantom of the Opera-ish 5:10, 17:50
Now that was a great short story.
I always tell my wife that this is my favorite episode.
What a nice music here and subtitles ,thank you
PERFECT STORY. THANKS
Almost a gripping story without an end (like most low budget movies. Excellent performance's of Holmes and Watson
before Rathbone and Bruce
This series was made several years AFTER Rathbone and Bruce.
They were BETTER than Rathbone and Bruce.
These movies are all the best of all of the best, could not be better 😊
Sherlock Holmes is my alltime favourite 👌👌
J’ai suis d’accord
What the husband did was gaslight his wife. A term taken from two movies and a play.
"Gaslight" was perfect mystery and terror!
You mean like ive been gaslighted the last 15 years. By a guy who thinks hes Sherlock Holmes.
My friend and I were talking about that word last week. We watch movies and/or read and then on the phone (pandemic, keeping social distancing, etc.) we exchange the words we learn. He came up with "gaslight" and we both remembered seeing the movie with Charles Boyer. I could see the word had to do with something psychological but did not have the exact meaning till he told me. I did not think about it i this movie till I read your post. Thank you!
Everybody knows what gaslight means.
@@kmarch6630 Not me! Just learned it. Scary.
FANTASTIC!!!
i always love sherlock holmes!!!!
watching in 2017 and probably even after how many years!!!!
Oh I love this Show! Ty for posting these 📽
This was outstanding. My fave next to the Haunted Gainsbourough
Love the old Sherlock Holmes films.
I've never read this Sherlock Holmes tale, but I enjoyed the upload. Thank you.
Doyle didn't write this
Excellent! Thank you soooo much for it!
Thank you; one of the best stories.
Such a satisfying watch.
I think it needed an hour as opposed to the 1/2 hour that was standard in the 50s.
No matter, this is still nicely done.
Thanks for making it available!
I always feel that way about this series. An hour would allow for a more developed story.
Yeah.
And this cast could have carried the load easily, imo.
Imagine what it was like earlier, when tv series were 15 minutes!
I agree...the ending came much too soon for me...and by the way, I would advise the lady of the house to fire her staff. Imagine, all those bodies smelling the staircase up, utterly sloppy housekeeping!
You got twenty to twenty five minutes of story with the commercials. Today you get the same in an hour lol.
Excellent!
wow and wow.......thanks!!!
They had the classic narcissist down perfectly - quite sophisticated for those days. A man who everyone thinks is wonderful, who gaslights his wife and others into thinking she is crazy.
Si estuvieran en español.... las vería 40 veces todos los días!!!
Me encantan!!!
Y porqué, el Español es bastante suficiente para hacerse entender, así que NO hay ninguna necesidad para traducir la obra al anglosajón
In one of the Agatha's short stories have read a similar plot. Dont remember the title but talks about a newly wed couple moved to a lonely village house and how he get rid of his previous wives and how bravely the wife manages to escape.
You're right. The short story is Philomel Cottage. It was made into a film with Basil Rathbone and Ann Harding.
The film is titled Love From a Stranger.
Cheers so much for the upload! Kind regards from Buenos Aires. 🏵️
such a wonderful series ,,love sherlock holmes❤️👍
The Celestial Toymaker was always very wicked. Thanks for posting
Michael Gough! How wonderful!
this has always been one of my favs
Delicious! The entire series is delightful in the sense of serious comedy . I respect the skills of all involved and and that's to all involved.
Very well done in the short time allowed!

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.
My favorite Sherlock Holmes episode.
Will you kill me with kindness...NO what a creep the look in his eyes when he was choking her very disturbing the actor who played Russell was great at being bad
Wow this was a great one ! I have loved watching all of them
I really liked this one!
The perfect thriller !
Ronald Howard is so like his father in looks.
Wow, this was excellent!
One of my favorites.
Blown away!
thinking about it now I find it amazing what some of us will put up with when we think we are in love with someone... I was a stupid fool...
watched since 2001 ........... UPDATE still watching in 2021........
thanks pizza fix, I am back watching tis again, hope you have stayed well during this covid stuff
That was great thank you❤😘
Anyone watching it in 2018 ?????
My husband and I have just discovered this fun series. We're in our 70's, so we were kids when this was first broadcast.......but neither remember ever seeing it. I believe it's an American production. Filmed in France with mostly British actors. Lovely to see the marvelous Leslie Howard's son, Ronald. He looks so much like his father.
I am.
I have the complete series on DVD. It amazes me how much Ronald Howard looks like his father!
I believe that it is superb to say the least. God bless the person who have cared enough to upload them. I am a Sherlock Holmes fanatic. I can never get enough of Sherlock Holmes.
I am. This was my favorite episode when I was a kid ; it still blows me away until now.
Watching in 2019 👍
boyd sims i am watching September 2019
The best part is the theme music!
One of the darker psychological thrillers.
I giggle with every episode
hey... pizza flix, thank you and hope you are doing great
Thanks! May the Sauce be with you.
:)
Passed me by too, July Miller. It's only due to my iPhone and CZcams that I see gems like this. Love anything to do with Sherlock Holmes. Been writing a short story called The Revenge of Moriarty for years. When I get it finished its going to make me rich and famous!
hopefully.
michael gough, playing wicked, even back then great actor
Love these old movies.
