4.0 out of 5 stars Richardson great as Holmes, but..., July 13, 2000

By	meiringen "meiringen" (the Midwest) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sherlock Holmes - The Sign of Four (DVD)

the DVD is grainy, and the story does deviate from the text somewhat. The packaging is nicer than the one for the Richardson "Hound of the Baskervilles," but I would still say that the Granada version with Jeremy Brett is the better of the two.

4.0 out of 5 stars Richardson leads the way in another solid Holmes tale., September 4, 2001

By	Hazen B Markoe (St. Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sherlock Holmes - The Sign of Four (DVD)

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE SIGN OF FOUR was the 2nd of 2 films that Ian Richardson starred in as the Great Detective, after HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. Once again, the production values, and Richardson's warm and impeccable performance carry this flick. Cheri Lunghi (Queen Guenevere in EXCALIBUR)is a winning and winsome damsel-in-distress and David Healy's Dr. Watson is a great improvement on his HOUND counterpart, being much more realistic in the role. Of course, there are a couple liberties taken with the original tale, and the culprits are revealed rather early in the film for my taste, but it doesn't get in the way of a solid and entertaining thriller. If you're a Sherlock Holmes fan, I would definitely recommend this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elementary!, January 17, 2000

By	katie Withers (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sign of Four (1983) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Brilliant! Ian Richardson really does bring Holmes to life in this entertaining and clever adaption of 'The Sign of Four'. A brilliant story of pygmies, jewels and wooden legs, plus the usual amazing deductions made by Holmes with the help of Dr.Watson. Great viewing!
