"'Danger is part of my trade,' I remarked.”
"'That is not danger,' said he. 'It is inevitable destruction. You stand in the way not merely of an individual, but of a mighty organization, the full extent of which you, with all your cleverness, have been unable to realize. You must stand clear, Mr. Holmes, or be trodden under foot.'”
— Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty, in “The Final Problem”

“But in calling Moriarty a criminal you are uttering libel in the eyes of the law — and there lie the glory and the wonder of it! The greatest schemer of all time, the organizer of every deviltry, the controlling brain of the underworld, a brain which might have made or marred the destiny of nations — that's the man! But so aloof is he from general suspicion, so immune from criticism, so admirable in his management and self-effacement, that for those very words that you have uttered he could hale you to a court and emerge with your year's pension as a solatium for his wounded character.”
— Sherlock Holmes, in “The Valley of Fear”

A chum reminded me that today would have been the birthday of the late Jeremy Brett. Brett, for my money, is still *the* finest screen incarnation of Sherlock Holmes.
Yes, I love the Rathbone films, but the Granada productions with Brett are just on another level and far truer to the spirit of the original stories.
Here in Edinburgh, local lad Conan Doyle has the greatest honour a Scotsman can have - a pub named after him!

Hello !
Mes enfants adorent Sherlock Holmes de Miyazaki. Je cherche à leur faire visionner en ligne (en Français) et dans la suite les uns des autres et je ne trouve ça nul part. Une belle âme pourrait-elle m'aider ?
Vous pouvez me mp. 😉
Merci ! 🙏

I thought of a copyright loophole!
Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain.
So who's to say he doesn't just decide to dress up as a bat one day???
