Stll, he was wonderful. Seen Douglas Wilmer? He's also a bit off-cast, but very good as Holmes)Clayton @ Phantom Empireshttp://claytonsahib.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-23468667781913413312016-07-28T20:16:09.200-04:002016-07-28T20:16:09.200-04:00I can see your point, though I think there's a...I can see your point, though I think there's a difference between period-set films and historical films. I would have loved for Hammer to have made more HOLMES films with Peter Cushing and Andre Morell. They were a great detective duo!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-79324245380060545882016-07-28T16:01:51.608-04:002016-07-28T16:01:51.608-04:00I disagree a bit; most of Hammer's films are,...I disagree a bit; most of Hammer's films are, at their core, historicals dramas with nasty beasties tossed in. Just pluck the beasties out and you have all the makings for any historical one could dream of. I think that's what makesz Hammer so brilliant and worth watching; I wish they'd done THE THREE MUSKETEERS, or Sherlock Holmes films in great quantity! :)<br /><br />I'm a huge fan of this film, and I suppose, any Rasputin tale. It's really quite creepy, and it features John Welsh, one of my UK TV Notables!<br /><br />Clayton @ Phantom Empireshttp://claytonsahib.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.com
