Does anyone know if there is a commercially available copy of “Sherlock Holmes Returns”
in any format DVD, VHS, LD, NTSC or PAL? [aka 1994 Baker Street: Sherlock Holmes Returns]
If anyone has a personal copy recorded from TV, I would gladly pay for a duplicate.
I’ve been searching for a copy of this movie for a decade. Loved Anthony Higgins’ exuberant performance.
Thanks,
Nick
Hi. My friend has been looking for a copy, since it came out, also. Would really appreciate any info. Thanks,
shareI actually have a VHS copy of Sherlock Holmes Returns that I recorded from TV when it originally aired; but the quality is not very good, and I think I missed recording the first 30 to 40 seconds. I thought Anthony Higgins portrayal of Holmes was so unique, I always wanted a better copy. If your friend is interested in a copy of the VHS tape or DVD made from the tape I have, let me know.
There is also another Sherlock Holmes film from 1987 titled: The Return of Sherlock Holmes with an almost identical plot premise [from IMDB: Sherlock Holmes is brought back to life by Watson's female descendent after being cryogenically frozen for eighty years] but with a completely different story. This one stars Margaret Colin as Jane Watson and Michael Pennington as Sherlock Holmes. I have an excellent copy of this one.
It is easy to confuse the two films, here are the exact titles:
Aired 1993 _ “1994 Baker Street: Sherlock Holmes Returns” with Anthony Higgins + Deborah Farentino
Aired 1987 _ “The Return of Sherlock Holmes” with Michael Pennington + Margaret Colin.
Sorry to write so much, but I collect Holmes books, TV and movies and it bothers me that these are so unknown and overlooked. Two of the best Sherlock Holmes stories and performances I have ever seen...and between TV and the movies I’ve seen well over two hundred.
Good luck in your search, and please let me know if you ever come across an excellent copy,
Thanks,
Someone has a decent copy of this transferred to dvd because I have occasionally seen it offered on Ebay, starting at $25. I'm sorry I didn't grab it on one of the two occasions I've seen it offered in the past 3 yrs.
shareActually as an old Holmes Nut, I have copies of both the Colin/Pennington and the Adair/Huggins ones THAT I taped from TV and transferred to DVD.
From the looks of things, I am glad I have both of them!
I love both versions of the show, and have uncut DVD-R versions both of them.
