Sherlock Holmes In "The Case of the Imposter Mystery" also featuring "The Case of the Haunted Gainsborough", "The Case of the Important Performance", "The Case of the Jolly Hangman" and "The Case of the Belligerent Ghost" DVD



Believed to have been born on 6th January 1854 Sherlock Holmes was a detective legend, and for more than a century his name and appearance has been known in every country of the world. The pipe, the deerstalker cap and the magnifying glass - details which are so familiar that if Sherlock Holmes were to appear amongst us today we should recognise him at once. Holmes is still however an enigmatic character, wrapped in as much mystery as the crimes he tried to solve, and as in most legends, it is often difficult to separate fact from fiction. According to the Arthur Conan Doyle stories, which first appeared in the Strand Magazine in 1891, he practised as a consulting detective between 1881-1904, while living at 221b Baker Street with his friend and colleague Doctor John H. Watson. These short films, made for television and produced by Sheldon Reynolds, were filmed in France in the mid 1950’s and feature Ronald Howard, the son of the actor Leslie Howard, as Sherlock Holmes and Howard Marion-Crawford as Dr Watson. This DVD disc features 5 episodes from this rare and interesting series.: The Case of the Imposter Mystery & The Case of the Haunted Gainsborough, The Case of the Important Performance, The Case of the Jolly Hangman, The Case of the Belligerent Ghost.
