The Many Faces of Sherlock Holmes (1985 Video)

Christopher Lee: Host

Quotes 

• Host : Sherlock Holmes. One of the most fascinating characters I have ever portrayed. His partner, Dr. John H. Watson, described his strengths and weaknesses with ruthless accuracy. Knowledge of literature, philosophy, astronomy, and politics: nil. Knowledge of botany: variable, well up in belladonna, opium, and poisons generally. Knowledge of geology, chemistry, and anatomy: profound, but unsystematic. Knowledge of sensational literature: immense. He appears to know every detail of every horror perpetrated in the century. He is an expert boxer, swordsman, and singlestick player. Plays the violin, well. Self-poisoner by tobacco and other substances. The best and wisest man whom I have ever known: Sherlock Holmes.
