Ronald Howard's Sherlock Holmes - A Video Retrospective

[CunninghamHeritage]

Hello all,

As my favorite iteration of Sherlock Holmes is the Ronald Howard portrayal, I decided to produce a video essay discussing the landmark series and why I love it. Enjoy.

Hello, CunninghamHeritage, and welcome to Sherlock Forum! 

I'm not at all familiar with that particular Holmes series, but am interested in hearing what you say.  However,  because my Internet service is not working, I'm currently online at the library -- not the best place to listen to a video!  If you could post just a brief description of the series, that should tide me over.  Thanks!

Thusfar, I own three complete series DVD sets for the ill-fated and underrated 1954 television version of SHERLOCK HOLMES starring Ronald Howard. My goal is to own every complete series set of the show so I can produce a YouTube video detailing every release and selecting one as the winner.

As the complete run is in the public domain, this will be quite the undertaking, but I believe it to be worth it in the long run to help those who wish to own the series on physical media, purchase the best set.

I have more on the way and once I have all of the ones I will be covering, I will produce the video.

Stay tuned.

Thanks, CunninghamHeritage, and best wishes for the remainder of your project.

Wikipedia has a very informative write-up on this show, including episode info.  Its Holmes, like Benedict Cumberbatch's in Sherlock, is in his early days as a detective.  Ronald Howard (not to be confused with Ronnie/Ron Howard!) is the son of Leslie Howard (Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind), and Inspector Lestrade is played by Archie Duncan (Little John in the Richard Greene Robin Hood TV series).

Odd that the show is not more widely known.
