Sherlock Holmes (TV-1954) THE PENNSYLVANIA GUN (S1E3)
Фильм және анимация
Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters. This acclaimed series stars Ronald Howard as the world-famous sleuth and H. Marion Crawford in a different portrayal of Dr. Watson than usual.
THE CASE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA GUN: Holmes and Watson travel to the Sussex countryside to fish - literally - for clues in a shotgun murder of John Douglas, what Holmes calls The Case of the Other Dumbbell. Holmes slides down a bannister in the course of his investigation. He not only deduces who the murderer is, but also who the victim is.

"A good rule in life, Watson. Always remember to throw back the little ones!". What a great line!
“Madder than a March Hare”, said the boy messenger, speaking to the unusual dialogue between Holmes & Watson. The March Hare starred in the teaparty scene in the 1865 children’s story Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

Mad as a hatter is being confused here with mad as a march hare, the hare was not the hatter, “There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it:.” From the actual book.
I’ve read the complete Sherlock Holmes stories from the pen of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Including the four novels i enjoy them yearly because they hold a great fascination for me. Moreover i’ve watched the movies and series on tv and video. I first came across this series on a channel in the UK called:’Bonanza Bonanza’ several years ago and, perhaps because it features a cast of characters like a stock company from the past;it feels so friendly despite its short 25-27 minute format, Think it is quite the greatest set of tales ever made. OK the scripts are based on the characters created by Doyle but the plots are almost those imagined by the makers that Sir Arthur himself could have penned for his readers. Absolutely magic-& i am grateful for being able to watch that obscure channel hardly anyone seems to have been aware of in my town. Also discovered’One step beyond’ which is worth watching. So if you fancy a binge watch one weekend & like the clarity and beauty of black and white photography give these a go and imagine you are back in the days when shorts like these would be shown as B pictures in our parents or grandparents cinema visits! Terrific and full of real character acting. 🎸

I also have read all the Holmes stories and seen most of the films and TV series, I recommend a series on youtube from Russia telling the Holmes stories, it is very good and mostly unwatched in the UK I believe
PRICELESS! The first 7 mins are a joy to see - Holmes and Watson at their best, each teasing and trying to get the upper hand. Brilliant! The best episode so far, with Holmes sounding incredibly like Wilfred Hyde White when discussing the missing dumbbell! Lovely location filming with Holmes looking correctly dressed for once in his rural deerstalker and cape coat. A joy to see! The only thing missing from this episode, for ultimate perfection, was a steam train! Maybe next time! KAN 6.19 UK

Another excellent episode of "Sherlock Holmes" with H. Marion Crawford and Ronald Howard. This series continues to uphold high standards of plot, pacing and acting. It is just over six decades old - very well done compared to then or even now.

That is wonderful! This makes Ronald Howard my second best Sherlock after Benedict Cumberbatch. Also I can see how the makers of Sherlock (Mark Gatis & Stephen Moffat) could build on this for thier masterpiece by an exponential factor. Quite possibly Ronal howard's acting has had an influence on Cumberbatch. As most certainly on the story, dialgues, plot etc. In a nutshell it is safe to say this could be called a prequel to Sherlock BBC series.

Where's the bloody drawbridge , someone's nicked me bloody Drawbridge
Unfortunately the 25 min episodes are not sufficient to do an intriguing mystery justice. Many aspects of the Birlstone case that were debated upon in the Valley of Fear was explained away in a couple sentences by the all-knowing inspector and Holmes immediately seizes upon the correct path. They shouldn’t have tried to adapt the longer Sherlock Holmes stories.
Nice tongue in cheek and polite dialogue.

''Hailed as the most faithfully filmed adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary characters, this critically acclaimed TV series stars... H. Marion Crawford as the often bumbling Dr. Watson'' So not faithful at all, Dr. Watson as written by Doyle was emphatically NOT bumbling, that's a later distortion of the character - though often repeated.

I agree with the Wikipedia page regarding this... Howard Marion Crawford, credited as H. Marion Crawford, was cast as Watson and it was a role Crawford had long wanted to play.[2]Crawford desired to play Watson as something other than the buffoon as typified by Nigel Bruce's portrayal.[4] "I had never thought of Watson as the perennial brainless bungler who provided burlesque relief in the earlier portrayals. He is a normal man, solid on his feet, a medical student who gives valuable advice.... In other words, he is a perfect foil to Holmes' youthful buoyancy."[2] [Howard Marion Crawford]

Actually the Granada UK series with Jeremy Brett would have to be the most faithfully filmed of all the Sherlock Holmes stories. Accurate to the smallest detail and the actors portraying the characters exactly as written. And even more importantly Watson portrayed as written - an intelligent astute man. Indeed, as written, Watson narrates the activities of Holmes from the viewpoint of a close observer of events as they unfolded - there was never any suggestion of Watson being a bumbling fool in any of those stories
Call me OCD or morbid, but it was very difficult for me to keep my mind on their light-hearted conversation & joking about with the dead person still laying there & in the same room where the murder happened. Geez, the man had his head blown off with a sawed off shotgun at close range! Brain matter & blood splatter would have coated that whole room, not to mention the stench depending on how long he had laid there. Yet they acted like they were gonna have a nice little tea party. LMAO
You’ve gone too far Holmes

The other dumbbell... there is only one dumbbell.. well maybe he only had one. they normally come in twos
He may use one dumbell if he only has one arm...But he has two arms, so...This episode is funny.
Were all of these stories wrote by Arthur Conan Doyle?
This episode is one of the best! Eventhough Holmes should have let the messengerboy be and not try to catch him on the hook, like a fish.

What an odd story. I like the interaction between Holmes and Watson at the start, but since they only have 25 minutes to solve the case it means the case must be ridiculously simple. They make a big deal about the moat, and how no-one could get in, yet the crime turns out to be committed by someone who got in. Holmes goes off to the library, but it's never explained why. There are two suspects but we never even meet the female one. The guy, in the study of his own home, accidentally shoots his attacker with the assailant's gun during a struggle, yet feels the need to flee the "murder" scene; except it's obviously not murder. He flees the castle that he owns leaving his friend to likely face a murder charge for his own death - to do what exactly? The friend, who appears confident and smart, decides to pull the bundle from the moat based on the police detective pointedly telling him the moat will be drained, even though it's not his house so there's no motive for the police to inform him. It's obviously a trick, given the police and SH are in the vicinity and you know SH was fishing out of the window. Why was SH fishing out the window? He guessed there was something in the moat because he thought to bring his fishing rod with him, and the dumbell confirmed it. Given that he knows a dumbell is weighing down whatever is in the moat, and he guessed what the package was, why fish for it? All the fishing does is clue the guy in that SH might know about the package, making it less likely he could be tricked into retrieving it. And the Pennsylvania Gun had absolutely nothing to do with the story, except perhaps hinting that the owner was in America at some point, although every possible suspect and the supposed victim had been in America at one point or the other and you can buy American guns in England (many shotguns were American or Italian). This is definitely a show made by the comical Holmes / Watson interactions. The mystery is a distant second. Don't get me wrong, I like this show, it's just some stories feel like they made it up as they went.

This one confuses me. The intruder bent on murder is shot with his own weapon during the attempted murder. How is the victim going to be charged? With murder?

hmm the story isn’t complete, the fear of Douglas wasn’t explained well. Why did he escape when it’s self defense? because in the original story, there were others after him. He’s escaping them. So he made it appear he was the one who died.
The ending doesn't make any sense as it's not a crime to defend oneself.

The easiest way to make TV or movie detectives appear brilliantly smart is to surround them with bumbling dimwits.... possibly necessary in 25 minute episodes, but lazy or inept writing for a script for an hour or more. Granada was successful with Brett, but they made Holmes more eccentric to do it. But Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto and others are all guilty. Instances are common in modern mysteries too, just with a different pattern, where the gifted detective sees the big picture and others are dumbfounded seeing merely incoherent aspects.

This story is nonsense. If a man comes into my home with a shotgun and a desire to kill me fueled after ten years of anger, and I struggle with him and end up killing him, I just defended my life and that of my partner upstairs as well as my property. Why would I be afraid? Especially since I have a friend that will verify this man had a vendetta and indeed came into the home uninvited and unwanted? I will call my attorney tell him or her what happened and let the attorney deal with the police once they are called and come into the home to remove the body/investigate. Fleeing is dumb, covering evidence of a clear self defense is dumb. No moral country will require its citizens to allow themselves to be killed with the promise that their death will at least be investigated. This story is dumb and for Holmes to say ... "Think about that the next time you involve yourself in murder", that is nonsense! I hate this episode because it is absolute nonsense! What else was the guy supposed to do? Allow the murderer to murder him? and probably the partner? Please. And that whole intro at the apartment was dumb.
It's not hailed as the most faithful adaptation at all. That's a massive crock of shit and can't be backed up. Not saying the show itself is bad, but why bother with hyperbole? If anything it's one of the least faithful adaptations, tho to be fair they obviously weren't attempting to be faithful.
