Peter was a top drawer actor, I've never seen him portray a character badly,in every film he was always brilliant even if it was a cheap budget film his brilliance always shined brighter than all the other actors in the film..R.I.P true gentleman.

From everything I have read, Peter Cushing was the sweetest man ,loving husband and gentleman. Thus he is my favourite Holmes for his warmth and manners. Understand the great affection and respect for for Brett and the production values at Granada TV. Holmes and the magnificent Dr Watson are two of the greatest characters in the anuls of literature.

@robinhooper2190..I totally agree. Peter Cushing was the definitive Holmes. Rathbone was good until they kept pushing him into out of the 19th Century and into modern day movies. I liked Rathbone in Hound Of the Baskervilles.. However, Cushing's over the top hyper take on Holmes in the Hammer Films movie was much better. His long face and underfed demeanor fit my idea of what Holmes really looked like.

Three things I feel were sad we never got in this life when it comes to movies: 1) A Ray Harryhausen produce War of the Worlds. He had a concept, but never was able to work on it. 2) That we went through the age of Black Exploitation films without one made about Yasuke the Black Samurai, a historical figure. 3) That for all their greatness and friendship, we had two legends like Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee walking this Earth, who played Sherlock Holmes in various movies, yet never worked together to duke each other as Holmes and Moriarty. How crazy would that had been if we had gotten that?

I find the 1960s company of Peter Cushing (Holmes) and Nigel Stock (Watson) more congenial than the more celebrated and lauded 1980s pairing of Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. Cushing, in particular, is a delight. He embodies Holmes' sharp intelligence perfectly

Re-watched THE WOMAN IN GREEN (1945) with Basil Rathbone, and he's got his cigarette case with him when he visits a bar with inspector Gregson and the bartender lights his cigarette and gives him the matches...later Holmes returns to the same bar with Hillary Brooke and they both smoke cigarettes...and when he goes to her apartment she offers him "Cannabis japonica, an oriental soporific" 😂 so it's not just the BBC and Cushing getting nauseated by the nearly omnipresent pipes, Holmes indulged in all manner of intoxicants, it goes all the way back to Conan Doyle. "I was right, Mr. Holmes, you Are a difficult subject." (the woman in green hypnotist, before the law leads he away) "Thank you."

Fifty five years old but still brilliant

Note how these were shot on video for the interiors but film for the exteriors (the infamous BBC rule- see Monty Python for details ;) It's odd to see Peter Cushing shot in video after watching him on film for so many years.

The thumbnail for this video is a still=frame showing Cushing as Holmes looking through his magnifying glass, with his left eye enlarged from the distortion . . . and this very shot was spoofed in the zany comedy "TOP SECRET!" starring Val Kilmer -- produced and directed by the Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker team that made "AIRPLANE!" and the TV show "POLICE SQUAD" (which spawned the "NAKED GUN" movies). There's an elaborate scene in "TOP SECRET!" where Val Kilmer, as 'Nick Rivers', goes to an old bookstore, I think it was, where Cushing portrayed its proprietor, whom we first see inspecting something with a magnifying glass . . . only for him to pull the glass away, revealing that his enlarged eye actually IS enlarged! The entire scene is supposedly in a foreign, European nation, and the 'language' Cushing speaks is actually spoken backwards, as they filmed the scene in reverse and then played the footage forwards. It was as hilarious as it was brilliant. I suspect that the Z-A-Z guys were inspired by the shot of Cushing as Sherlock, looking through the magnifying lens, when they thought up that similar shot for their comedy.

Hey. Never heard of this. Love Holmsie.

Amen to that.

Brett borrowed heavily from Cushing, the same tropes, the same mannerisms (they even look alike). But i think Brett accentuated those traits, almost caricaturizing them, and that just made for a more vivid and outstanding Holmes IMO.

I don't think any yet have done full justice to Morarity, in present time I would be hard pressed to pick someone for the roll. Maybe not show Morarity at all, make him more of a shadowy villain, hidden by read newspapers or such, an overlord presence.

The thumbnail reminds me of Cushing's cameo in Top Secret!

My great-grandfather Robert, came to Australia from England during the gold-rush in 1852. He left behind a wife in England and never returned. But he met a lady here called Mary and they began a life together, having 6 children. 5 boys and a girl. All of the boys went to the first world war but the two youngest never came back. When my grandfather (who was the youngest of the surviving 4 children) was in his 20s ( the daughter and other two surviving sons were even older), my great-grandparents Robert and Mary finally…married. Yes that’s right, the children (now adults) were all illegitimate until then. His first wife in England had finally died and so he was free to marry my great-grandmother. This was something I discovered when doing a family history. Robert and Mary’s son Walter (my grandfather) passed away in his 70s in 1972. He was a character, hard worker and had no airs and graces. But his wife, my Nanna Wynn, was a bit stuck up and very judgemental. She passed away in 1987, but how I wish she was here now so I could accidentally (on purpose) let it slip that I knew the truth; about her mother and father in law, and that several of her own grandchildren who had children outside of marriage and who were berated by her for it, were not the only ones in the family who had a skeleton in the closet!

@@yashshah3484 just a little hint…the ‘sir’ in a person’s name ALWAYS goes with the first name not the family name. His name was Arthur Conan-Doyle (though the hyphen is generally not used) So he is referred to as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or as Sir Arthur, but never ever as Sir Conan Doyle or Sir Doyle as you have. here is some idea for others. The British peerage, in order of precedence is: *duke/duchess: the Duke/Duchess of Somewhere, both addressed as Your Grace. marquess/marchioness: the Marquess/Marchioness of Somewhere, addressed as Lord/Lady Somewhere.* Note that sometimes the French form Marquis is used (though never the feminine French title of Marquise). Marquess is an older and purely English form. earl/countess: the Earl/Countess [of] Titlename, addressed as Lord/Lady Titlename viscount/viscountess: the Viscount/Viscountess [of] Titlename, addressed as Lord/Lady Titlename. baron/baroness: Baron/Baroness Titlename, addressed as Lord/Lady Titlename.* *The titles of duke and marquess are almost invariably territorial, eg Duke of Devonshire, Marquess of Salisbury, etc. The titles of earl, viscount, and baron are most often associated with a territory, eg Earl of Pembroke, but can also be based on a family name, in which case the "of" is dropped, eg Earl Spencer. A baron’s wife is not typically titled a baroness, though she is addressed as Lady Titlename. Only a woman who is a baroness in her own right uses that title.* The next two ranks are not peers, ie they do not sit in the House of Lords: *baronet: addressed as Sir Firstname, his wife as Lady Surname. knight: addressed as Sir Firstname, his wife as Lady Surname; a knighted female is addressed as Dame Firstname, her husband as Mr. Surname, ie he does not share the distinction of his wife. Whereas a baronet title is hereditary, a knighthood is not inherited.* For details on each rank as well as correct forms of address, these sites are recommended: www.debretts.com/forms-of-address/titles.aspx laura.chinet.com//html/titles02.html

In big films as well.But he is too nice. Holmes was a sociopath he did not treat Watson well. Here there were some minor things like not caring if Watson ate or making him pay but it was not too bad, really. He seemed to be too kind to poor Watson.
