Sherlock Holmes at fisticuffs

The incomparable Jeremy Brett incarnation of Sherlock Holmes puts the odious Mr Woodley in his place at a village pub. A rousing little clip. What graceful moves. A credit to a lost art.

"Only a ruffian deals a blow with the back of the hand. A gentleman uses a straight left!"

There was that smirk on Holmes face. Holmes wanted to beat the crap out of that guy badly. He enjoyed it.

at 0:48 when Holmeas is tripping about on the floor == lol, I agree with Woodley's expression afterwards! Holmes is so funny though! The way he spiralled across the room when Woodley hit him! :p
