Customer Reviews of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia
Super Although it later declined into sentimentality and melodramatic excess, Jeremy Brett's interpretation of Sherlock Holmes was a revelation back in the '80s. This might be the best of his Granada series (tied with "The Speckled Band"). It's a solid, extremely well-acted version of the first and maybe greatest Sherlock Holmes short story -- crisp, witty, and entirely wonderful.
Enough to Make Merchant/Ivory Jealous
The entire Granada series is nothing short of superb. This first entry is a shining example of what kind of magic you can create when you "do it right." Faithful to the story and period, it boasts a top-notch cast. Let there be no mistake: The late Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes. Having seen and enjoyed Rathbone, Richardson, Cushing, Lee, John Wood, et. al., those performances all wither against Brett's. He has captured the essense of the world's greatest amatuer consulting detective perfectly. It will be a long time (if ever) that his work will be surpassed. "Scandal" is worth every cent to any lover of Holmes and mysteries. Just the physical change that Holmes (and Brett) creates between his persona, the "handyman" and the vicar are staggering! Pop it into your VCR, light your pipe, and whisk yourself straight back into Victorian England and the wonderful world of Mr. Sherlock Holmes!
A Good Start
This is pretty much the perfect story for someone to butcher Holmes' character in so you know you're dealing with competent people when they can get this one right and not have Holmes get too emotionally involved with Irene Adler. In addition to being faithful to Arthur Conan Doyle's story, this episode features some of Brett's finest acting. Gayle Hunnicutt is also wonderful as "the woman" and, of course, David Burke is always wonderful as Dr. Watson. I would highly recommend this episode.
