Sherlock Holmes – A Study In Scarlet / Boscombe Valley Peter Cushing 2004 DVD

Two episodes from the 1968 TV series based on the famous stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, starring Peter Cushing as Holmes and Nigel Stock as Dr Watson. ‘A Study in Scarlet’ is based on the very first Sherlock Holmes story, in which Holmes must track down a relentless killer when the dead bodies of a string of victims are discovered, all with the word ‘Rache’ (German for ‘revenge’) written in blood next to where they are lying. In ‘The Boscombe Valley Mystery’, Holmes must prove that a young man found next to the dying, brutally beaten body of his tyrannous bully of a father is not guilty of his murder.
