: Brett wasn't an "action hero" type actor but then Holmes wasn't an action hero. I guess he was more of a "cerebral hero". Anyway, I can't imagine anyone else playing a better Holmes.

The shame is that he only did two that were in period, "The Hound of
the Baskervilles" and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". The rest,
though inferior, were entertaining. Brett is the only one, to his
credit, before he died, to have filmed the Doyle stories the most
faithfully. And he did look just like those original "Strand" illustrations.
Cheers,
Ellison
