  • Era un attore di quelli che non calcheranno più le scene di un teatro o verranno ripresi dalla macchina da presa.

  • @Lordgirsa Eh sì, era davvero straordinario, sia per la formazione, scuola di Laurence Olivier, sia per il suo grande talento e la profonda sensibilità artistica.

  • Jeremy Brett fantastico attore!!

  • @morononno Sì, davvero eccezionale, si vede che era della scuola di Laurence Olivier. Raramente il talento ha tutto il successo e il riconoscimento che merita. Fortunati noi appassionati di Sherlock Holmes che pur se inizialmente perplesso abbia accettato di impersonare il grande consulting detective!

  • My heart aches. Miss you, Jeremy Brett. R.i.P.

  • The best Sherlock Holmes forever

  • Jeremy Brett is my favourite Holmes. However, I was recently told off on Youtube for saying he was the best when comparing him with the Russian version. This person told me he was too aggressive for Holmes and that Brett fans don't really care about Sherlock Holmes. What does anyone think about that ?

  • @toothus There are many people who will rank Brett as the number one Holmes. I am one of them. Dont know why realy. I think Brett cold catch the emotions of Holmes realy good. All away from the depressing moments with the cocaine bottle to the almost "manic" situations. That and the fact that Brett had huge charisma may have affected his success as the great detective...

    PS...Isn´t Bretts guttural "R" pretty cool??

  • Beautifu, beautiful, beautiful.

  • @orca631 Jeremy was the personification of beauty!

    ^__^

  • @annafrancesca1 He was the perfect gentleman. :) There will never come a Jeremy Brett again. Never, but he will live in my mind, as long as I will live.

  • best sherlock ever... he is well missed....

    btw the performer of smetana's "die moldau" is wolf hoffman

    look him up here on youtube...

    he has other great classical tracks!

  • @ibmeto Thanks for this hint, I am glad to know about the performer of this acustic version of a classical theme!

  • @annafrancesca1 you're welcome. great video with a great track

  • What is he saying 2:03 - 2:18 ?

  • @PinkMuffin1000 This excerpt needs the lines closed among the stars

     Watson: *Not for the first time, Holmes, you presume to take the law into your hands*

    Sherlock :I have never loved, but if I did and if the woman I had loved had met with such an end I might act even as our lawless lion-hunter has done.

    *Wouldn't you?*

    *Watson: Yes, I suppose so*

  • I also think Jeremy is the one and only Sherlock...I have his picture on my wall on that position when he was thinking hands together...

    Marvolous actor cause he can bring the Sherlock Holmes to life <3

  • I love your voice, your face, your meaning to be Sherlock Holmes dear Jeremy Brett : you are a dream ...

  • @gluups I totally agree with you dear friend, everything in Jeremy Brett is super, he is a dream indeed

  • @annafrancesca : i'm happy that you did understand what i wanted to say about JB and Holmes. Many JB fans doesn't. They just look at the gorgeous man without thinking about his great suffering during the Holmes movies. Did you read Terri Manners Book ? I do not agree with everything but he's right when he describes JB's mental state during his working.

  • Dear Annafrancesca : like you, i did read all the ACD short stories as i was 13. Now i think that what i love by JB is not the man himself but the way he played Holmes. He did it so well that he lost his life for it. What is a life worth when its not driven by passion ? I'm a french writer and i can understand

    Holmes's moods swings and depression for having felt exactly the same. I'm glad to know that i'm not alone in the world with my odd way of life ...

  • @misstoujoursplus I totally agree with you: when I say that JB made SH alive this is what I mean. As soon as I saw JB portrayal I thought HE was SH, he put his true soul in this character. I read that JB was afraid, because SH could be vacuum character to be filled by stealing the actor's soul. In fact, however, SH is really described as bipolar, and JB was. I am convinced that it is not a disease to be chemically cured, but a way of being, and JB died because of these so called cures

  • @annafrancesca 1 Of course JB will be the best. What do you think about the Holmes movie played by R. Downey Junior ? My God, Sir Conan Doyle will jump out of his grave !

    It's awful !

  • @misstoujoursplus Brett is the top of the top! anyway I'm a fan of SH since I was a child, I read all, so every performance is welcomed but...well...Downey's portrayal is not Sherlock, it's like Indiana Jones,so I enjoyed it as an action movie!

    Among the clasical I like Livanov (the russian Sherlock), Rathbone, Howard and Cushing. I think that the modern SH Cumberbatch is a true bomb: the scripts and the character are so faithful to the canon that IMHO these three episodes are masterpieces.

  • Until I watched the BBC Holmes, I always thought Peter Cushing was the best Holmes of all the movies. Now I think JB is far more better, even if I still like Cushing's performance.

  • @misstoujoursplus I love Cushing's performance too, but Jeremy Brett will be forever Sherlock Holmes in my mind and in my eart! ^__^

  • Very nice video! I first saw the Granada series in the early 90's and found it riveting. There is just one actor who can play Sherlock Holmes: JB. 

  • @arju2020 Thanks! I'm glad that you liked!

    Jeremy Brett made Sherlock Holmes alive!

  • It's lovely! <3

  • @SpockLover27 Thanks! ^__^

  • I only recently began to read Sherlock Holmes and saw the Granda Production of it. I was completely amazed at how Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes was exactly that of what I had imagined in my mind. I only regret not knowing of this work earlier. Thank you so much for this wonderful tribute to a brilliant actor :)

  • @doumokun1 I read the books when I was about twelve, and I fell in love with Sherlock. I have seen every portrayal of the consulting detective that I was allowed to see, and as soon as I saw Jeremy Brett I went crazy: no words to tell how much he is the true personification of Sherlock! Jeremy Brett was a great, fine, subtle and refined thespian. Too bad he was taken away in Heaven so early! Thanks for your kind comment!

  • Brilliant vid - loved the little 'no stuntman' notes :)

  • @ultraviolet128 I have read Dancing in the moonlight, so I have learnt that he performed those scenes by himself: what a gorgeous man!

    I'm glad that you liked! ^__^

  • Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes indeed. You are loved!

  • @Darkdog Jeremy Brett will be forever loved!

  • Amazing tribute to the best S.H. in the History of TV and cinema!!!

    Many congratulations for the video.

  • @MG85M Grazie, sono contenta che ti sia piaciuto!

    Jeremy Brett resta davvero l'incarnazione insuperabile di Sherlock Holmes!

  • Thank you so much for posting this, Anna. This is truly beautiful. Jeremy Brett was truly the one and only Sherlock Holmes for me, and truly the most handsome and wonderful man ever. Miss you, Jeremy... God bless you, forever. Amen.

  • @Zurreentaj Thanks for your kind comment.

    We all miss Jeremy a lot, he is alive in the masterful work that he left to us!

  • @Zurreentaj We all miss Jeremy: forever loved.

  • Thank you so much, Anna, for posting this tribute to my all-time favorite Jeremy Brett. He truly was the one and only Sherlock Holmes and, although I never met him personally, he was also the most handsome and talented man I have ever "known." Miss you so much, Jeremy... May God bless you forever. Amen.

  • It's past midnight here in Denmark. 15 years since we lost our beloved Jeremy. Love you forever. <3

  • @MrsDelle Jeremy Brett was excellent in everything he did, the finest thespian and the most gorgeous and perfect man I can recall in my mind. Sherlock's fans, as me, are very very lucky that he decided to perform and to make alive the consulting detective!

    Thanks for commenting!

  • he was, he is beyond human!!!! truly a semi-god of drama!!!!

  • @zedamasio Indeed he was!

  • the best holmes of all times

  • @texascountryusa Jeremy Brett made Sherlock alive: he was a gorgeous man and a fine actor! :-))

  • @ultraviolet128 The Blue Carbuncle

  • God I miss Jeremy Brett, nobody will ever come close to him.

  • Love Jeremy Brett so much got the whole collection of his Sherlock Holmes on DVD.

    No one plays Sherlock Holmes a good as him.

  • also ich habe Sherlock Holmes viel lieber als Miss Marpel ;))

  • @AylinRosaYael ....also if one do not want to add anything else, Sherlock Holmes is certainly more charming! ^__^

  • @annafrancesca1 .. :)

  • Jeremy Brett -->> The one only Sherlock Holmes 4 Ever!!

    The World is missing him.

    *soory, Bad Englisch ;) *

  • @Sailorsunrise1 Indeed! The greatest Sherlock!

  • "My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people don't know. "

    Unforgettable quote!

  • Unforgettable as Jeremy was! ^_^

    Thanks for commenting!

  • He made Sherlock Holmes alive!

  • It's true! ^__^

    I read it on the book of Davis Stuart Davies, with the sad line in Jeremy's last interview, when he was ill "no more jumping on the sofa" : this made my heart scream for pain

  • @annafrancesca1 mine too, i read this quote for the first time right now and it hurts awfully.

  • jeremy brett IS Holmes. Superb

  • I agree! ^_^

  • Great tribute!

    A great tribute for the best Sherlock Holmes ever: Jeremy Brett.

  • Grazie! Sono contenta che ti sia piaciuto!

    Penso che Jeremy Brett come Holmes sia semplicemente perfetto ! (...non si capirà mai dalla mia icona!!!!^__^)

  • The whole DVD series is up at the PBS website, but it is pricey. Try Amazon for a used set, or they may have on Netflix.

  • @lemonpiefirefly

    :

    yep! they've got it on netflix :D

  • He was an AMAZING actor!

  • Yes, he was gorgeous!

  • Jeremy Brett is definately the one and only sherlock holmes. only he could have presented holmes in such a way that people have in their hearts for forever and all of eternity.

    Btw, where can i find the whole series so i can watch it?

  • Thanks for giving this second chance at my video! I hope you will enjoy it! ^_^

  • I agree, the voice and especially the ability in acting of this great actor, ability that was also expressed in his voice, as well as his gestures and his expressions, are by themselves a great tribute, and you can see and hear and enjoy the things that Brett interpreted watching his performances in dvd, or tv or the web.

    But there are many ways to make a tribute, and this is a tribute in the form of music video. Sic et simpliciter

  • he reminds me of robert donat circa winslow boy

  • I just love him!! Great man and actor! I admire his acting, there´s only one Sherlock Holmes! Jeremy Huggins.

  • He was a great thespian and a gorgeous man: which a better Sherlock for us?

  • having been a life long fan of the holmes stories its impossible for me to visualise anybody else but jeremy when reading them.he was and is the best holmes.i will just view the new holmes movie as just a popcorn action movie ! jeremy's holmes will always be the standard for the others to reach!

  • Yes, he was a great and gorgeous Sherlock Holmes, and huge fans like us are really lucky to have the opportunity to enjoy this series!

  • But a good Popcorn Action Movie surely!

  • yeah you and your boyfreinds will love it faggot liar

  • I love this, you captured so many awesome moments. I really needed to see something like this in the face of the new Holmes movie. Thanks.

  • Jeremy Brett's portrayal of SHerlock was very faithful to the canon, and more: he really made this consulting detective alive, with all defects, merits and ingeniousness. Jeremy was brilliant indeed!

    I have not seen the new movie yet, watching at the trailers it seems more like Indiana Jones or James Bond rather than SH!

    Thanks for watching!

  • I couldn't agree more. He brought to life a character that is so flawed he shouldn't be likeable, and yet is. Gave him life as it were. Thanks again for the vid. :

  • Thanks for posting. In my opinion Jeremy was the best ever Sherlock Holmes. He made Sherlock his own. 5*

  • Yes, he was Sherlock indeed!

    Thanks for watching!

  • Oh, yes, I appreciate him very much, and many many others do! ^__^

    He was a great thespian and a very charming man!

    Thanks for commenting!

  • What an actor..what a Holmes! Unsurpassable!

  • Yes, indeed he was!

    Thanks for watcing!

  • c trop super lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -_-

  • ^___^ Thanks!

  • I agree he was THE Holmes. A few nights ago I watched Edward woodward as Holmes and although he is also a good actor I found it very amateur in comparaison to Jeremy.

  • There are very believable Sherlocks (the russian one is great), but when I think about Sherlock, or I read the canon is Jeremy Brett's face and his shape that my mind recalls: he was Holmes indeed, he made the written carachter human and alive!

  • legendary Jeremy Brett,i love this guy he was the real holmes.i will never watch any other holmes .

  • I love him too: he was the greatest Sherlock ever, and a great thespian

  • Indeed he was Sherlock.

    A very sensitive and charming Sherlock...

  • Indeed he was!

  • wonderful thanks for posting this.

  • Thanks! ^_^

  • Thanks, I'm glad that you liked!

    Yes, I agree: it's difficult to think about Sherlock Holmes without thinking about him as Jeremy Brett! He was an awesome actor!

  • You could almost say that in a way Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote Holmes for Jeremy Brett without even realising it, for Mr Brett certainly played the part extremely well and makes a better Holmes than his predecessors and successors.

  • I agree!

    Thanks for commenting and watching!

  • By far the best Sherlock Holmes ever-Jeremy bless him,he never got over the death of his wife ,hope they are both together now "upstairs" xxx

  • Yes, he made Sherlock Holmes a living person!

    Thanks for commenting!

  • What a fantastic actor; as others have said, Jeremy was born to play the great detective.  May he RIP.

  • Yes, JB was a superb thespian and a great man, and his performance as Sherlock Holmes makes the great consulting detective real as a man!

    Thanks for watching!

  • this man played the best sherlock holmes i must admit

  • He did! ^_^

    Thanks for watching!

  • 5* :) Super video.

    "My name is Sherlock Holmes, it is my business to know what other people don't know.

    I think this is fantastic intro. I like it! :)

  • Thanks hipofizis, I'm glad that you liked!

    This is one of my favourite quote from Sherlock!

  • Of all the players who've played him over the past century, Jeremy Brett is my all-time favorite.

    He injected just the right amount of humor and eccentricity and vulnerability into a character that has been presented as quite forbidding and unapproachable in other hands.

    And, apropos of injection, I loved how he handled Holmes' cocaine habit.

  • I agree: that's what I mean when I say that Jeremy Brett made Sherlock Holmes alive!

    Thanks for commenting pinz2022!

  • Love Jeremy Brett acting

  • Me too! He was a great thespian!

  • He was born to be Sherlock Holmes!

  • Yes indeed! He made Sherlock Holmes alive!

  • Oh, yes! :o)

  • Gorgeous music, gorgeous imagery. Jeremy Brett was beautiful, brilliant... the very BEST

  • Thanks kara1464! Jeremy Brett was a brilliant top-notch and a great man!

  • Jeremy was wonderful that you for this video.

  • I agree, Jeremy was wonderful: such a great loss! Thanks for commenting!

  • He is so incredibly wonderful and hansome. Thank you darling anna for this tribute.

  • Thank you darling D)! I'm so glad that you liked it!

  • Jeremy, encore et toujours... comme il nous manque!!

  • I really like to watch Jeremy again and again,thank you:-)

  • I understand what you mean! Thank you!

  • Beautiful! Love it!

  • Very lovely video, thanks for sharing!:)

  • Thank you! I'm glad that you liked!

  • Grazie! Mi sono trovata in difficoltà a selzionare le scene e alla fine il criterio principale è stato solo estetico. Anche a 0:22-0:25 pur con il taglio di capelli autolesionista era uno spettacolo!

    Anche io mi sono imbattuta in JB perchè appassionata di SH, però davvero la sua interpretazione oltre che aderente al canone è davvero eccezionale, e lui era ben più che affascinante! Così mi sono ammalata di JB-mania! :D

  • Fantastic! JB was such a fine actor. Class, grace and sexy.

  • I'm so happy that you liked it!

    And you can shout it loud: his beauty was great!

    Thank you! :D

  • I really like this one, good clips, good music and the beautiful words at last. A beautiful tribute to JB.

  • Thank you so much! I'm glad that you liked! :D

    The words at last are a prayer from the Roman Catholic burial service.

  • Thank you! And thanks for the great work that you do with the JB's group on youtube, that's really important for spreading around JB's light! :D

  • lovely video and what interesting development of this well-known music:)

  • Thank you so much! I'm glad that you liked this version of this "well known music" written by the great Czech composer Smetana!

  • to JituleCZ: Yahey! I succeeded in posting the comment!

  • :))

  • Vrey very beautiful video... Jeremy Brett and Vltava thank you :-) As greek god? Yes, agree :-)

  • Thank you so much! I've always loved Vltava (thanks for writing it's original Czech title, here it is Moldava), absolutely my favorite symphonic poem, and I couldn't cut it, so I chose this modern acoustic version, and the short frame with violin... I hope that the great Bedřich Smetana will forgive me for this butchery cut-and-paste!

  • Yes, Smetana... was born the same date as me (of course different century XD)

  • Great! ...I was born the same day of Stan Laurel but it's not exactly the same thing!!!! :D :D :D

  • Beautiful! :-)

  • Thanks!

  • Very sweet tibute, I liked the fact you used just a tune (no singing), it gave time just to watch and really think. thank you *sniff*

  • Thank you so much! I'm glad that you liked, and it's strange, but I chose the music first, and then the scenes have been thought consequently

  • all of my fav scenes !! well done watson..i mean anna... :)

  • Thanks again! The problem was to select: I love ALL scenes performed by JB!

  • splendid! love it!!

  • Lovely indeed, dear Annafrancesca! You did a beautiful job and I know he would love it. ^_^

    He was so stunning and wonderful. I like your description very much as well. He is very loved and this vid just goes to show it. Thank you, dear friend. ^_^

  • ps..loved the part about if he had loved. :)

  • Me too! I must confess that the "devil foot" is definitely my favorite episode: Jeremy was just perfect!...and I adore his blamed haircut!

  • Dear RJDoll2! I'm very glad that a master in JB's video as you are commented on my poor video! He was dreamy indeed! Thank you dear friend J!

  • Very lovely, my dear, a fitting tribute indeed. Many thanks ^_^

  • Thank you so much dear H.! I'm so glad that you liked! I was afraid for the lenght of the collected clips: I have indeed some problems in making music video using scenes from SH/JB, because every time I check the episodes...I have to watch, and watch again the whole scene and...I cannot cut! :D
