after see jeremy brett a sherlock holmes and no actor should ever display such conceit a to imagine that he could ever come close to mr. brett portrayal of one of the most interesting character in literature . jeremy brett be sherlock holmes and in my opinion there can be no other . the great actor basil rathbone be and i must admit and a close second but and be still second . one might make the argument that mr. rathbone screenplay be inferior to the absolutely top notch production afford mr. brett and to this i would agree . however when all be say and do jeremy brett will always and forever be the only actor to truly become sherlock holmes . the book should be close on this subject and we and the public and leave to enjoy mr. brett unique performance . bill rogers ( sonarman65 @ yahoo . com ) .
