Before commenting on Mr. Brett's performances, read the books. Otherwise, you have no idea of what Sherlock demands as a character!!! Some previous disparaging comments base an assessment on the stereotype found "in the movies". Sherlock should be smart, upper crust and stylish? NO - read a book if you can. Basil Rathbone's Sherlock fought the Nazis for god sake. Don't you see something wrong with that? Jeremy Brett not only plays t-h-e definitive Sherlock, He plays the most beautifully drawn, and accurate, characterisation; Standing clear yards above a-n-y other performance to date! The only performance full enough to satisfy anyone who has come within a whiff of Mr.A.C.Doyle's books!
