The Sherlock Holmes Series
Ever since seeing them on TV when I was a kid, and concurrently reading the Doyle stories, I've had a cozy place in my heart for the Universal Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes series. While many critics...

I watched the first film in the set the other day and was very impressed with the clarity and monochromatic depth of the print used for the DVD. Forget all those PD releases; MPI's SHERLOCK HOLMES AND...

Not being a fan of every single Holmes film in the series, I'm still undecided whether to get the set or the individual discs I am interested in. The amateur quality of the liner notes may tip the...

Welcome to the board, PD. I wouldn't call the liner notes amateur and I hope I didn't give that impression. They do the basic job and sparkle in a few sections, but the amount of mistakes found in...

Over on another board I've read the complete list of errors found in the liners, which include confusion over plot elements, and am bewildered by lack of quality control exhibited by MPI. If we go to...

An errata page is an excellent idea, PD, but, because it would be an admission of errors, you'll never see it anywhere near SCARLET STREET--website, EzBoard or magazine. File such a page under "Lack...

I just got Volume 2 in the mail today. Just sampled each chapter stop of each film and overall am impressed with the quality. Spider Woman looks to be the print in the best condition. Haven't checked...

While waiting and waiting for the second Holmes set, I've found more mistakes in the liners for the first set while casually doing research on the Holmes radio shows starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel...

Mirek, which film would you recommend to someone who loves Holmes but has only seen the Rathbone series as a kid? Which disc has the best film/transfer/extras overall balance? I saw them all for $15...

Esteban the box sets are the only ones with the extras I believe. The single discs are just bare bones.But I would suggest either House Of Fear or Scarlet Claw as far as overall movies. They both are...

The Evil One is right: the extras seem to be in the boxed sets only. I don't even think that the commentary for SHERLOCK HOLMES FACES DEATH is on the single disc, but you should check. The other three...

Does anyone know of Fox's plans (or lack thereof) to release HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES or THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES on DVD? I have ADVENTURES on laserdisc, but I've never seen the...

Those two are coming out on dvd in 2004. Don't know when."Permit me to introduce myself.My name is Mabuse.Dr Mabuse".

The two Fox films will indeed be released next year. Unlike the Universal series, these films have not been restored, but most likely will be buffed up digitally as best as possible. The only word on...

i smy favorite Rathbone movie. I heard it is an original story not based on Doyle, is that true? The only version I saw of Hound of Baskerville was one with Cushing and Lee in it. I hear Hammer...
View ArticleRe: The Sherlock Holmes Series
Yes, SCARLET CLAW is not a Doyle story.I doubt that it was the Doyle estate that put a damper on a follow-up to Hammer's HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. From what I read, it was a decision solely on the...
