Brett is still HOT!!!

7 August 2018

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

What did I use this product for? Drooling over the late, great Jeremy Brett, of course!

He was the best ever Sherlock (sorry Mr. Cumberbatch!) and a terrific actor, as well as being totally delicious. I love the intricacy of his gestures and facial expressions, and the balletic grace of his movement. Sometimes the speed of delivery of his lines is a little unintelligible, but that was Sherlockian - "like a stick rattling along railings". (Inspector Alec McDonald!)

The history of the way Jeremy's personality appeared progressively to mesh with Sherlock's is well known, and a little eerie and sad. Also sad to observe the change in his appearance later in the series, due to illness, for which at the time he was unjustly criticised. In fact he was extremely brave to work through that ill-health, so as not to let down his audience and Granada.

I believe the only reason he received no major industry awards, is that Sherlock is considered "light-weight" - Brett left the lofty heights of National Theatre Shakespeare to work in the film and television sector.

But perhaps, as Holmes himself was so fond of saying, "his work is its own reward".

The very best Sherlock Holmes on film, the inimitable Jeremy Brett.

17 October 2015

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

For me, and I know for many others, there is only one Sherlock Holmes on film and that is the wonderful Jeremy Brett. There is also one outstanding Dr. Watson - David Burke, closely followed by Edward Hardwicke.

Jeremy Brett was a sad loss to the world when he passed away in 1995. He had much in common with the original Sherlock Holmes and portrayed him with a passion rarely seen in acting. He understood the character, lived and breathed him and throughout his own personal problems carried the part through over 39 hours of brilliant episodes.

I could write so much about this fabulous boxed set, but it has all been written so many times and the stories are too well known to require description so I will just add that this complete collection has pride of place in my DVD library and I would not part with it for all the tea in China, Sri Lanka and India. I love it and have watched it many times.

A brief review of the German Blu Ray version

23 November 2019

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

I took a gamble on the German Blu Ray version because I couldn’t find any reviews of it on Amazon before i purchased it. The price was the lowest i have ever seen for a complete set of Jeremy Brett’s Sherlock Holmes (£45 in the UK). The American version often goes for over twice that amount. I noticed that the images of the box were all in German and I could just about make out that there was an English Audio soundtrack. Once I saw that, it gave me the confidence to give it a chance. So what’s the catch? Everything about this set, the outer box, the individual Blu Ray cases, the covers inside the cases, and the text on the front face of each disc are in German. All of the titles of the episodes listed inside the cases are in German. When you boot the disc in your blu ray player, the menus are all in German. However, with regards to the episodes themselves, once you have set the audio track, they all play exactly the same as the European and US blu ray versions. These are the same Sherlock Holmes episodes that we all know and love. Buying the German set is definitely the least expensive option but with the caveats already described above. The set also includes all of the films in addition to the 1 hr long television episodes. So very good value for money indeed. All in all, I’m very happy with the overall image quality and sound from what i have seen so far and i’m looking forward to watching all of the episodes again. It has been many years since i last saw this incredible series. Jeremy Brett really brought the character of Holmes alive and he set the benchmark high. I hope this provides enough information for those of you who are contemplating buying the German version. Feel free to ask me a question on Amazon and i’ll be happy to answer it.

BRETT BETTER THAN CUMBERBATCH

12 January 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

It has been a comfort - after having watched the Cumberbatch/Freeman modernised version of the Sherlock Holmes' adventures - to return to the episodes with the unsurpassable Jeremy Brett. Cumberbatch is indeed a marvellous actor but as Sherlock, perhaps obeying to the director's orders, he becomes rather ridiculous instead of eccentric, while Brett is indeed an actor who leaves you to face the real Holmes without any effort. Here, with Brett (he also has a wonderful diction - Cumberbatch with his speaking rapidity is only fastidious) , everything is delivered with great honesty, without the strange challenges to combine thwarting ways which do not let you understand the story as in the Cumberbatch's. Nowadays it is often customary to modernise anything in order to surprise, to give new impulse, but I - pardon me, friends, thinking otherwise - don't appreciate the bully idea of changing everything, with the boldness of believing to be more intelligent than the original authors!

Excellent Value! Compulsive Viewing! Elementary, my dear Watson!

22 April 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Having watched a few episodes of Holmes on tv, and thoroughly enjoying them, I couldn't resist buying the complete box set. It's great to be able to watch whenever you like and without all the adverts! Great adaptions by ITV of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's timeless classic escapades! So far, we have watched both discs one and two and have now begun on disc 3. Jeremy Brett, armed with deerstalker and pipe, stars as the legendary Sherlock Holmes who, in my opinion, by far, portrays the best Sherlock Holmes! As well as equally superb acting from both Edward Hardwick and David Burke, who are on hand as Dr. Watson- Holmes's indispensable assistant! There is a total of 16 discs (41 films) which the whole family have enjoyed so far. Perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon with a cup of tea and cake! Compulsive viewing!

Arrived in two days, well packaged, a real bargain at just £23.99- for a complete collection. Many other box sets, such as Agatha Christie's Marple and Midsummer Murders, both of which are also firm favourites of mine, are considerably more expensive!

Look forward to watching some more episodes, and as Sherlock Holmes's himself would say- Elementary, my dear Watson!
