@knicklas48 You have crazy (good) eyesight! I didn't even notice it when I was looking for it. Caught it on the 5th go and even then it was like looking for a white bunny in a snowdrift during a blizzard.
@knicklas48 Yes it was at 3:08 and it almost knocked that poor bloke on the milkfloat off the road. Damned American tourists always driving on the wrong side!!! I've got to give it to you, bloody good eyesight! Good old Sherlock would have been well proud of you Knicklas48. :o)o:
Beautiful music at the end and also at the beginning of the episode. (It's on the Holmes soundtrack CD, thankfully.) Such placid music, and yet I think with an undercurrent of sadness and foreboding.
mr. cupid? shot through the heart? died instantly? the dancing men? the spent bullet casing? the children and the chalk marks on the pavement? the bullet through the brain? abe's "account" ? nobody can see her not even we have not been given that privilege. who are the dancing men? sherlock holmes, abe, mr. cupid, watson, the inspector etc. i think "there is more here than meets the eye" holmes was outwitted again
Certianly true about the shell casing. If you remember Abe shot Mr.Cupid while still inside the window. For what ever reason, Abe Slaney once outside the window ejected the casing from his pistol. That would be the only way the casing would be laying outside the window. Interesting how the film makers let that one slip by.
That's not the only error. Why is Holmes' pistol a .45 cal. Colt Peacemaker? Definitely an odd weapon for an urban Englishman of the late Victorian era.
But on the other hand, Holmes is not the ordinary urban late Victorian Englishman. His behaviour, his scale of estimation, etc, is not like the one of the rest of his contemporary fellow-Victorians.
Btw, if his Colt is model 1873, as it seems to me when I watch the movie, why doesn`t he use some more modern Colt like let`s say model 1892 - double action and swing out cylinder e.g. easier to shoot and to reload than the 1873 model? The story is written in 1903 ,after all.
Double action pistols are actually harder to fire accurately than a single action pistol. When the Colt Single Action Army is adjusted by a gunsmith it is both accurate and reliable.
Colt revolvers were an enormous success in Britain from the time of the Crimean War. The Single Action Army (Peacemaker) was chambered for both the Eley .455 and the .476 cartridges. British officers purchased their own sidearms. There are numerous 19th century photos of British soldiers posing with their Colt Peacemakers.
The Colt .45 happens to be one of the most powerful revolvers in the world. And when you're in a line of business like Holmes's, I think you'd WANT something with a bit of power in it.
But not so odd for a Victorian who knew his way around firearms. The Peacemaker was (actually is, since it's still in production) a very strong, sturdy revolver, firing a powerful cartridge. And it was certainly available in England during Holmes' career --
Yes, I am glad that someone else has noticed this, too. I wrote a comment about that under the previous part, but my comment ,I assure you, was not plagiarism from you or somebody else who could have noticed this error.
A possible explanation could be like this for example:
The story is written in 1903. Slaney uses semi-automatic BrowningM 1900 - easier for reloading and for conceal carry than a revolver.
On the screen I could not see whether Slaney`s gun is a revolver.
It is possible under a few circumstances. Should the bullet pass through her brain, or fragments of her skull penetrate into her brain (like it happened with Abraham Lincoln), the wound would be fatal. But if the bullet chips away only a portion of her skull, causing a shallow wound, without affecting the brain, she has a fair chance of surviving it. :)
It's kind of sad that she did survive it. I mean she wanted to kill herself to end the misery of her husband's death, and now she's living all alone, with possible mental/physical damage.
Well, Sherlock Holmes must have said something to assuage her bereavement. A lonely life, she must spend, nevertheless. She should have confided in her husband while he was still alive, and things would have turned out differently.
Great film but the books are definitely always better.

As with all Holmes cases, a perplexing problem with a vexing issue at the heart of it, not always a bright and sunny ending. A classic.

The dancing men on the pacement at the beginning are just a little aside thrown in by the TV director. They are nothing to do with the story.

The bullet casing wouldn't have been lying on the ground outside of the window. Revolvers don't automatically eject spent cartridges.
