Basil Rathbone is the quintessential Sherlock Holmes. He bears a striking resemblance to Sherlock Holmes as he was pictured in the original illustrations of the stories draw by Sidney Paget and he captures the very essence of the character as described by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The modern attempts to portray Sherlock Holmes miss the mark very badly and take liberties that render the character unrecognizable. Particularly unforgivable is the casting of Holmes's biographer, Doctor Watson, as a Chinese woman played by Lucy Lui in the T.V program "Elementary". I love Lucy Lui but not as Doctor Watson. Stay wit the fourteen Basil Rathbone movies if you want the best portrayal of Sherlock Holmes. That is truly "elementary".

The Sherlock Holmes series with Basil Rathbone made during the war years of the 1940s I consider the best portrayal of the legendary sleuth. The dvd is of high quality in both sight and sound. If you like watching classic Holmes, buy this and you'll be extremely happy.

My favorite actor to portray Sherlock Holmes has always been Basil Rathbone. Anyone who enjoys Sherlock Holmes will love these dvds. Nigel Bruce was the perfect Watson along with Lestrade and some truly great actors and actresses.
