#Rathbone holmes

[selcouthself]

i think its hilarious that the fandom has pretty much agreed that if all the versions of holmes met each other, there'd be a MAJOR falling out. but if all the watson's met each other, it'd be a decent, civilized conversation, probably drink some brandy, smoke a cigar, tell war stories, have a jolly good time, etc. i just think the mental image is hilarious

THE WOMAN IN GREEN (1945) Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson & Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes

[moroniccats]

I CANNOT WITH WHATSAPP WHY IS IT THAT ALL THE GIFS ARE OF BBC SHERLOCK?????? I SEARCH ‘SHERLOCK HOLMES 1984’? BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH. I SEARCH ‘BASIL RATHBONE HOLMES’? BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH. ‘JEREMY BRETT HOLMES’? YOU GUESSED IT. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH.

Thankfully, THIS site has an excellent selection.

See? Beautiful. Art. Majestic. I’m actually going insane. What is wrong with me.

LOOK AT THIS. DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU ARE MISSING????????

Can you hear me say your name, forever? Can you see me longing for you, forever, forever? Would you let me touch your soul, forever? Can you feel me longing for you, forever, forever? Forever (forever), forever (forever), forever

hi tumblr i like the old movies with the gay people in them

[bananaeatstape]

everyone shut up you know what i think is so cool

the fact Nigel Bruce who worked with Basil Rathbone in several Sherlock Holmes films knew Sir Cedric Hardwicke

Sir Cedric Hardwicke's son Ted Hardwicke ended up playing with Jeremy Brett in Granada's Sherlock Holmes production, replacing David Burke

David Burke appeared in a series called The Champions, and so did Brett

Brett was besties with Robert Stephens who played Holmes with Collin Blakely as Watson in Billy Wilder's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes

the Granada production also had Jude Law appear with Brett and Ted in the Shoscombe Old Place episode

Brett had met Stephen Fry who has met Hugh Laurie, who plays the title role in the Holmes-inspired medical drama House with Robert Sean Leonard as Dr. James Wilson

also Jude Law plays Watson alongside Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes in the Guy Ritchie films

RDJ has acted with Benedict Cumberbatch in Marvel's Avenger movies

guess who also appears in those movies? Martin Freeman

Cumberbatch and Freeman have played Holmes and Watson respectively in BBC's Sherlock

Ben's family was also friends with Brett and he grew up watching the show

Cumberbatch and Freeman also appear in the Hobbit movies alongside Ian McKellen, who stars as Holmes in a film based on a book of the same name, Mr. Holmes

both McKellen and Cumberbatch have met Jonny Lee Miller who stars with Lucy Liu in CBS' Elementary

Miller and Ben have acted together in a production of Frankenstein, alternating each other's roles

also i forgor but was reminded by yall that Stephen Fry did not just meet Laurie, he acted with him in Jeeves and Wooster and he also played Mycroft in the Ritchie Holmes films
