SHERLOCK HOLMES GREATEST MYSTERIES 1954 (MILL CREEK)

This is a magnificent set of 5 DVD's which includes 8 movies and all 39 episodes of the American TV show The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes which starred Ronald Howard as Holmes and Howard Marion Crawford as Dr. Watson.
These episodes run 26 minutes each and are well crafted little mysteries. Howard portrays Holmes in his own way and and Crawford is excellent as Watson. He would later play in a couple of Fu Manchu films furing the 60's for director Jess Franco. The episodes were filmed in France and there are a lot of guest stars including Michael Gough, natalie Schafer, Dawn Adams and Delphine Seyrig.
The movies are a mixture of Basil Rathbone films and films starring Arther Wontner. If you are a mystery fan or a fan of Holmes, I cannot recommend this enough. Well done Mill Creek.
