Delightful rendition of Sir Arthur's "Sign of the Four"
As an avid reader of the stories of Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this movie exceeded my expectations. The screenplay, although somewhat modified from the original novel, was a fine adaptation to the TV film medium. The characters were both real and well acted by this international cast. I especially enjoyed the portrayals of Shelock Holmes and Dr. John Watson by Actors Heston and Johnson respectively. This movie is a must see for all fans of Sherlock Holmes.

Dreadful
"The Crucifer of Blood" is a tarted-up re-write of "The Sign of the Four," with Conan Doyle's original chivalrous romance replaced by some queasy, ugly modern sadism. It would be bad enough on its own, but here you also get beetle-browed Charlton Heston, as unconvincing as ever, clutching a meerschaum between those dentures as if it were some hapless liberal. Not the worst Sherlock Holmes of all time -- that honor goes to Leonard Nimoy -- but close enough.
