VHS Movie Reviews of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Greek Interpreter
Movie Review: Crime story, not detective story
Summary: 3 Stars
Conan Doyle has let us down. There's little deduction in this story. Strangely, it's a tale of crime, not subtle at all. However, the dramatization, acting, and ambiance are as usual outstanding.
Summary of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Greek Interpreter
Ladies and gentemen, meet Sherlock Holmes's older brother, Mycroft. One of the most delightful surprises in the Holmes canon of stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, the introduction of Mycroft is wonderfully realized in this Granada Television adaptation. Charles Gray stars as the larger-than-life yet shadowy Holmes sibling who rarely leaves his beloved Diogenes Club and, in effect, runs the British government with his long memory for policies and details. The case he brings to Sherlock (Jeremy Brett) and Dr. Watson (David Burke) is unnerving in its suggestion of real brutality: a professional interpreter of Mycroft's acquaintance was kidnapped and threatened with harm the night before if he did not agree to translate for another hostage, a Greek man under obvious duress and probable torture. The subsequent investigation runs afoul of some truly nasty people who will stop at nothing to achieve their ends. But before that happens, we're treated to the memorable moment when Sherlock and Mycroft essentially compete in their analysis of an old soldier seen from a window. Great stuff. --Tom KeoghDrama VHS Video
