He was magnificent and applied many layers of depth to Holmes. He was often as charming as he was rude; dismissive. A rubbish analysis by James Abbott.

I have often had the same thoughts about this version of Holmes - neurotic, condescending, effeminate and quite rude.<br /><br />I agree that Brett was a nice human being, but was either misdirected or misguided in his portrayal.<br /><br />I often thought that I was wrong in my perception of Brett's work, since he is considered as the Definitive Holmes by so many Sherlockians/Holmesians... Your post has vindicated my thoughts :)<br /><br />Have you tried the Russian adaptation with Vasily Livanov as Sherlock Holmes. This version is every bit the Gentleman as Sir Doyle had described in the canon.<br /><br />Cheers!Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16498276962097853996noreply@blogger.com
