1964 · Series · 50 min. · United Kingdom
TV Series (1964-1968). 2 seasons. The 1960s BBC series Sherlock Holmes has all the virtues of Arthur Conan Doyle's classic detective--shrewd and efficient, with flashes of visual panache but never at the expense of sturdy, straightforward storytelling. This series includes some of the best stories from the canon. Whether it is the horrifying case of The Speckled Band or the fascinating story behind The Red-Headed League , this is a must-have for all mystery fans. Douglas Wilmer starred as Sherlock in the earlier, black and white episodes. Peter Cushing took over in the second series, produced in color.
