    Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

    The DVD market is now suddenly flooded with reissues of Sherlock Holmes material in anticipation of the upcoming Guy Ritchie SHERLOCK HOLMES movie. But here’s something really special…

    First of all, none of the items packed into these three DVDs has ever before been released on VHS, let alone DVD.

    Second, there are films here that I’ve been panting to see for 35 years…and now I can not only see ‘em, I own ‘em!

    Third, everything in this package has been very nicely restored, obviously with great care.

    And fourth, the whole experience this set offers hardcore Sherlockians is delightful. Going through this set is like opening up an old trunk in your grandmother’s attic. The further down you dig, the better the stuff you find.

    HIGHLY recommended to fans of Sherlock Holmes and old and obscure movies and TV.
