Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHolmes finds a picture of a South American landscape on a mantlepiece and says "See those unscalable cliffs which time and the foot of man have never touched, where monsters from the dawn of history might still roam". This is a reference to The Lost World, Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 adventure novel, set in an unexplored plateau hidden in the Amazon jungle where dinosaurs still live.
- GoofsThe weapon(s) used in the crime are brass-framed copies of Colt's Single Action Army Revolver, aka the Peacemaker. Colt never made them with brass frames, showing them to be latter-day (i.e., 1950s or later) replicas, probably Italian-made.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Dr. Watson: You have helped a remarkable woman, Holmes. And a formidable man.
Sherlock Holmes: And if, as seems not unlikely, they should join forces?
Dr. Watson: Naturally I would wish them well.
Sherlock Holmes: Hmph. Magnanimous of you, Watson.
Featured review
Another very enjoyable Sherlock Holmes adaptation
As some may be aware already, I am a big fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories and Granada adaptations. The Problem of Thor Bridge is one of the better adaptations/episodes of The Case-book of Sherlock Holmes. The pace is very solid on the whole, but there are one or two scenes with perhaps one too many pauses between each action. The story is very interesting with a solution that is clever and not too obvious. The production values are wonderful and very evocative costumes and sets wise while the photography is lovely. As always, the music is hauntingly beautiful, the writing thoughtful, the direction impressive and the acting outstanding not just the note-perfect performances from Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke but also Daniel Massey. In conclusion, very enjoyable. 9/10 Bethany Cox
