Jason and the Argonauts, Columbia Pictures, 1963, directed by Don Chaffey, starring Todd Armstrong and Douglas Wilmer -- but really starring the animated creations of Ray Harryhausen (born June 29, 1920)

The Vampire Lovers (1970)

[fitsofgloom]

"Heel, Concubine of The Damned!": Terrific behind the scenes shot from Hammer's "The Vampire Lovers," one of the studio's best. It's like one of the movies-within-a-movie starring Peter Vincent that Charlie watches in "Fright Night."

Two scenes with Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson from the movie "The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother". I love the crossdressing in the second scene! And the two ladies that got the suits!

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad

Summary: Sinbad (John Phillip Law) and the Vizier of Marabia (Douglas Wilmer) must find the three pieces of a golden amulet they believe will lead them to the Fountain of Destiny before the evil magician Koura (Tom Baker) does.

Charm of Harryhausen's stop motion cannot overcome how terribly the film has aged, with “special” mention going to the racism.

Rating: 1.75/5

May I suggest the Peter Cushing Sherlock from the 50's and 60's as well?

unless there are any objections, I'm going to count Peter Cushing's Holmes and Douglas Wilmer's Holmes as the same version, as they share both a continuity and a Watson.

Sherlock Holmes, everybody!

Bad movie I have Antony and Cleopatra 1972

[ulrichgebert]

Statt Bibelspektakel zur Abwechslung mal ein Ritterspektakel mit Charlton Heston. Der prinzipientreue El Cid eint seinem zweifelhaften König zum Trotz die Spanier samt verständigen Mauren gegen Islamistische Welteroberungspläne. So ist recht! Nur die gute Sophia hat nicht so recht was von ihm. Am Ende ist er tot, aber legendär und reitet dem Sonnenuntergang entgegen, in Technicolor und ..hm.. Supertechnirama.

'Jeremy said to me on one occasion, "I was feeling so low the other day that I sent myself a fan letter."

' "Are you serious?"

' "I‘m absolutely serious."

' "What did you write to yourself?"

' "Dear Jeremy, I would just like to say what a wonderful actor you are. Your Sherlock Holmes puts every other attempt at the part in the shade. Basil Rathbone is not fit to clean your boots; and Douglas Wilmer and Robert Stephens should beg you to give them lessons. You're much prettier than all of them, for a start. There is only one word for your performance - magic. Please send me a signed photograph. Yours, Joe Bloggs. P.S. I've heard that you're really nice person, too."

' "Did you really write that?"

' "Yes, I did."

' "Did you send it?"

' "Yes. I put a first-class stamp on it. I wanted to get it as soon as possible. It came the next morning."

' "And did you read it?"

' "Of course I read it. I read it a dozen times. I felt wonderful afterwards."

' "Well, did you send yourself a signed photograph?"

' "David, I may be mad - but I‘m not barking mad! In any case, the bugger didn‘t send a stamped addressed envelope!" '

Sherlockian Wednesday Watchalongs: Groundhog Day 3—Year of the Snake 🐍

February is here, and of course we all know what that means! If the snake comes out of its hole and drinks its little dish of milk, we get six more weeks of Lunar New Year.

No, wait… I think I may've gotten a few things mixed up there.

Annnnyway, this month we'll take a journey through four decades of television adaptations of The Adventure of the Speckled Band. Each week, it's another take on the same canon story.

Wednesday, February 5 Your Show Time: The Adventure of the Speckled Band (1949) Alan Napier as Holmes, and Melville Cooper as Watson (One of the earliest known versions of Sherlock on TV!)

Wednesday, February 12 Detective: The Speckled Band (1964) Douglas Wilmer as Holmes, and Nigel Stock as Watson (The pilot episode for what would become the 1965 Sherlock Holmes series.)

Wednesday, February 19 Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Acquaintance (1979) Vasily Livanov as Sherlock Holmes, and Vitaly Solomin as Dr. Watson (This is the series also casually known as Soviet Holmes.)

Wednesday, February 26 Granada Holmes: The Speckled Band (1984) Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, and David Burke as Watson (Maybe this week we'll finally learn an important life lesson and break out of the time loop?)

Here’s the deal: Like Sherlock Holmes? You’re welcome to join us in The Giant Chat of Sumatra’s #giantchat text channel to watch and discuss with us. Just grab a copy of the episode or movie we’re watching, and come make some goofy internet friends.

Keep an eye on my #the giant chat of sumatra tag and the calendar for updates on future chat events.
