My favourite portrayers of Holmes and Watson!
This piece is amazing! I love the colour scheme and texture, which works to wonderful effect!
GREAT WORK AND WELL DONE!!!

*Some of the old Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce Holmes movies were entertaining, and some of the old time radio programs as well, but it always irritated me how Watson was portrayed as being an idiot-although he got his own back a time or two-since he most certainly was not! After having read your response to Not-A-Tree-225, it makes much more sense about why they were portrayed the way they were at that time.

Like all films, Holmes movies are inevitably a product of their circumstances and environment, and subject to the whims and concerns of their producers. Even Brett's Granada series, great as it was, starts breaking down a bit toward the end, veering into wild extrapolations on the Canon (like The Last Vampire).
When I was young, and the Rathbone films were all the Holmes films I had access to (and that only occasionally, at the whim of television programming executives, since we didn't have DVDs or even VHS in those days), I absolutely HATED Nigel Bruce. Today, now that I understand enough about the films' background to take the social and historical context into consideration, I find him much less painful to watch. Of course, that's probably also influenced by the fact that I do have DVDs now, and so I've always got Burke, Hardwicke, Duvall, Morrell, and other better Watsons to fall back on if Bruce's buffoonery becomes too much.
