The Return of Sherlock Holmes, Vol. 1 - The Empty House | Classification: Mystery / Suspense Directed: - Patrick Lau - Peter Hammond - David Carson - Howard Baker - Ken Hannam - John Gorrie - Brian Mills - John Madden - John Bruce (II) We love it With Sherlock Holmes dead at the Reichenbach Falls, Watson returns to his daily life. But, three years later, when Holmes suddenly appears in his examining room Watson receives the shock of his life. But, it's not time for happy reunions; Holmes is on the track of a major villain, and he is in need of his able assistant. Once again, the game is afoot! I loved this tape and think that any fan of Sherlock Holmes, or just plain fan of mysteries, will love it, too. My family and I highly recommend it to you! The Return of Sherlock Holmes I love this episode. Not only does it bring Holmes back from the dead, it also brings into the series Edward Hardwicke who is my favorite Watson. I love the scene where Holmes shows up in Watson's consulting room. The scene was so very well done. It was emotional without being sappy which was how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle always did it. As usual Jeremy Brett's acting was fantastic. I would highly recommend this episode. Excellent DVD These two stories may not be as involved as some contemporary mysteries involving modern forensics, but Holmes' use of rational deduction and the forensics of his time (late 19th Century) is grand. If you are a true mystery fan, this is the place to begin--and return to again. Conan Doyle was a superb story teller. The first story involves Holmes reappearance following his reported death at the hand of his arch enemy. Conan Doyle "killed" his dectective because he was tired of writing Holmes serials for the newspaper, but Holmes fans were so outraged and heartbroken the author was forced to resurrect him. This volume marks Holmes "return" following the notorious "fall" in the Alps only to find himself pursued by a crony of his dead arch enemy (Professor Moriarity). The second tale involves the death of the owner of the Abbey Grange--who did it? Was it his Australian wife, her nanny, or the three villans the wife says hit her and tied her to a chair. Holmes is back in fine form and the "game's afoot" he tells Watson. The film includes the live depiction of illustrations from the Sherlock Holmes books we read as kids. The DVD version of these two Sherlock Holmes tales is excellent. I love the reenactment of past times where every detail is faithfully depicted down to the steam from the locomotive engines and being able to see the detail with clarity is a pleasure.
