Sherlock Holmes Triple Bill — Classic Mystery Cinema | Watch Free

Three impossible cases. Three visitors who came to Baker Street with problems that should not have been solvable. Sherlock Holmes solved all of them. Tonight's programme opens with the 1933 pre-Code feature A Study in Scarlet — not an adaptation of Conan Doyle's novel but an entirely original mystery that predates Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None by six years. A secret inheritance society called the Scarlet Ring is eliminating its own members, each death preceded by a line from a children's counting rhyme. The survivors divide the dead man's share. The scheme is worth one million pounds. Holmes has been called in by a widow with nothing left. The countdown is almost finished. Anna May Wong — the first Asian actress to achieve Hollywood stardom — appears as the enigmatic Mrs. Pyke, a woman who, as one character notes, moves like a cat. Reginald Owen plays Holmes having played Watson the previous year, one of the very few actors in cinema history to take both roles. Then two episodes from the 1954–55 television series, filmed in France by Sheldon Reynolds with Ronald Howard — son of Leslie Howard — as Holmes. In The Case of the Deadly Prophecy, Holmes is called to a boys' school in Belgium where a young student writes the names of faculty members on the steps of a nearby church. Shortly afterward, whoever's name was written is found dead. Hypnosis, blackmail, and a conspiracy that has been hiding behind a child's apparent madness. In The Case of the Diamond Tooth, Watson finds a single diamond tooth on the bank of the Thames during a morning walk. Before the day is out, it connects to a murder victim found nearby — and to a killer who used a boa constrictor at a London shipping dock. Three cases. Three killers who believed their methods were too strange to trace. 🎬 A Study in Scarlet (1933) — dir. Edwin L.
