.... this Sign of Four was made in 1968 and starred Peter Cushing as Holmes. So why are most commenter's discussing Jeremy Brett's version here? And why is the picture associated with this TV episode a picture of Jeremy Brett? Peter Cushing admittedly did not like the Holmes he portrayed on for the TV episodes, but to me he is not what is wrong with this version or the other Holmes adaptations he has done. The made for TV Holmes of the English 60s makes you feel like you are actually watching a play rather than a movie. I think this is a great aspect to viewing an already known piece of material. (I am sure that this will not be the first sign of four anyone has seen nowadays.) It shows the viewer a different perspective of the characters. It definitely makes you feel like you are actually in the room with the actors. With that being said I give this version a 7.
