A pictorial tribute to Jeremy Brett the man; the actor; and possibly even the definitive Sherlock Holmes.
The slender large format trade paperback is really a very lovely photo-album consisting of about 100 pictures, mostly black and white, of Brett throughout his career. It is an eye-opening experience to discover the range of looks that Brett had captured in his wide variety of roles on stage, television and the occasional film. The section about stage performances is possibly the most interesting as we can see a very youthful and frightened looking Mark Antony in 1954 give way to a sophisticated and haunted Hamlet in 1961. We have a bewhiskered Che Guevera in 1969 rubbing shoulders with a smiling George Tesman in a 1970 production of Hedda Gabler, followed by the flamboyant Dracula of 1978 and culminating in the world-weary Holmes in the The Secret of Sherlock Holmes.

This review is from: A Pictorial Tribute to Jeremy Brett (Sherlock Holmes) (Paperback)
Terrific book, great pictures - A must for any Jeremy Brett fan!! For over a decade Jeremy Brett played the master sleuth of Baker Street in thirty-six episodes and five feature-length films. The Granada Television Sherlock Holmes series sold to over eighty countries worldwide and many people the world over regarded Jeremy's interpretation as the most profound and brilliant portrayal in the history of television. Despite over a hundred actors having played Sherlock Holmes, Jeremy will always be remembered as The Definitive Sherlock Holmes. Yet little is known of the man prior to his outstanding success. This book puts the record straight with a short biography, career listing, letters from admirers, cast list of every Sherlock Holmes episode, and 100 photos covering Jeremy's career from drama school to his triumph as Sherlock Holmes.
