Sherlock Holmes: TV Classics Vol. 5

Ronald Howard stars as in this 1954 television series as Sherlock Holmes, pipe-smoking detective extraordinaire. Howard and the rest of the American cast bring Sir Author Conan Doyle's characters to life, infusing them with humor and intelligence. Both Howard and H. Marion Crawford (who plays his sidekick Dr. Watson) are likeable in their roles, as is Archie Duncan as Inspector Lestrade. Shot in France but intended for American audiences, the series follows Holmes as he solves simple mysteries with the assistance of Dr. Watson and constant head butting with Inspector Lestrade. SHERLOCK HOLMES VOLUME 5 contains four episodes: "The Case of the Belligerent Ghost," "The Case of the Blind Man's Bluff," "The Case of the Tyrant's Daughter," and "The Case of the Thistle Killer."
