Sherlock Holmes – Russian TV-series
Posted by admin
uiruyt9 asked:
“The Hound of the Baskervilles”(1981) – the best episode from the Soviet Sherlock Holmes TV-series. Vasiliy Livanov as Holmes and Vitaliy Solomin as Watson (probably, the best Watson EVER in cinema). Dr.Mortimer (Evgeniy Steblov) narrates the Baskervilles legend. (The great Russian actor Oleg Yankovsky who plays Stapleton in this movie can be also briefly seen as Hugo Baskerville in this sequence.)

If I understood Russian I bet it’d be great. Sounds professional enough anyway, mind, and I love the music!

The composer’s name is Vladimir Dashkevich. More information you can find by Google.

The best Holmes version indeed! Could anybody provide some more info about the music main theme? Is it composed by a Russian composer especially for the series or it is a classical piece of music? Whatever the case may be, it’s a great choice of great musi!

you should know that first 6-7 episodes where shot very carefully and long time about 7 years. This where amazing quality comes from. It’s not possible in capitalism. Don’t say that totalitarian states can’t make a good movie or better than free world.

I am not Russian, But I do believe that Vasiliy Livanov and Vitaliy Solomin are best Holmes and Watson. They have showed more “englishness” than British actors. The fact that Vasiliy Livanov got a reward for being the ‘best Sherloch Holmes’ tells us a lot.

Actually you do have a point sometimes he overacts and plays Holmes as too intense but overall a very good portrayal and I like the Granada production, generally very authentic.

This won’t be a popular opinion but I think Brett plays Holmes as a little too unbalanced.
May 27th, 2008 at 5:07 am
reading all the comments on this page has been very interesting :L I like how someone detected the possible return of Donfrye. Anyway, I watched this whole video despite haing no real interest in Sherlock Holms or Russian renditions of it-But I have to say I was impressed.

yea russia had excellent actors including Livanov!!! nowadays there is not much talant…
Livanov recently got a reward from britain for being the best sherlock holmes
i am russian by the way.

I still think Jeremy Brett is the best Holmes, the cinematography on this version is excellent though but even though I don’t understand Russian the acting looks a little wooden in parts, still it’s an amazing attempt considering how english Sherlock Holmes is and how they have captured that very well I bet we would struggle to create a Russian theme so authentically.

The best performance EVER!!!!!!! WELL DONE USSR cinematography!!!! Look what a vibrant discussion it caused 29 years after it has been made!
June 4th, 2008 at 5:26 am
i’m not russian but i do believe Vasily Livanov made the best Sherlock Holmes of all times. especially, when it comes to looks. it’s been marvelously directed too, they dodn’t make them like movies like they used to any more…
maybe holywood could learn something from it before they release their new sherlock holmes movie in 2010…
i find it absolutely facinating how russians do better at being british then brits themselves

I have a message for donfrye1979… YOU NEED TO CHILL!!! For crying out loud, is this anyway to behave? *rolls eyes* How about instead of the “bone picking” we can all just have a mature and intellectual conversation about the different actors that play Holmes. Kay?

#7: Lastly , Kharlamov16, who joined youtube on Aug. 27th, 2008, I sincerely hope you’re NOT Donfrye1979 himself whose ID has been revoked for his abusive and threatening comments.
Anyway, that’s not the point. Whoever you are, good luck with your new ID experience.
June 8th, 2008 at 11:04 am
#6: AS I SAID in my FIRST comment here, I like Russian’s rich history. I, and all other brett fans, have NOTHING against Russia and its people. Hope everybody got it right.
Most Brett fans also truly respect all other Holmes actors, including Livanov and Solomin. HOPE THIS IS THE END OF IT and let’s make peace. Hope nobody else would ruin it again.
June 9th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
#5:I’v seen there’ve been other IDs got removed on this page. I hope it’s not for the same reason.
Fifthly, AS I SAID PREVIOUSLY, Now I say it again. If I ever showed ANY disrespects to Mr. Livanove or CIVILISED, well-bred fans, I sincerely apologize. And sincerely hope nobody else ever ruin my respect again. I don’t think Livanov’d be happy to gain recognition this way. I don’t think Livanov’d be proud of such fans as Donfrye1979
June 12th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
#4: And not to speak donfrye’s comical over-confidence in his English skills. I could follow his step and pick HIS errors too. But no I won’t. too many to list ‘em all and off-topic also.
Fourthly, Negative opinions are entitled and protected on youtube. BUT NOT insults and threats. Donfrye’s ID is removed becuz of all the bad words and threats he posted. NOT becuz of his nationality or anything else.
June 14th, 2008 at 10:04 am
#3:If you think Donfrye’s words are not bad, here they are for your enjoyment:
“you mother f*cker” “I’ll twist your head off” “you stink” “you chickensh*t” “go f*ck urself” “you idiot” “I will smash your face, punk if you don’t shut up. ”
And not to speak Donfrye’s poor reasoning logic. I COULD’VE used his arguments against him(like age problem, I don’t think Livanov was as young as Holmes’ age in the canon), BUT I DIDN’T.
June 17th, 2008 at 8:39 am
#2: except for “bland”, I don’t think I’v used other disrespectful words.
and if you think “narrow-minded” is NOT APPROPRIATE to describe what Donfrye(and some others) said and did (BEFORE I CAME HERE), I sincerely apologize and take back my word. Just leave it for public judgement. ok? Hope that alleviates ur anger a bit.
Thirdly, do YOU think my nagative opinions can JUSTIFY donfrye’s namecalling and threats?
June 18th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
#1: Firstly, I guess to make a fairer judgement, everybody should go check what Donfrye said about about JB/DB/EH (BEFORE I CAME HERE)on JB’s vid page, AND to check his previous comments on this vid page.
As I said, few can keep their temper under control when you see ur beloved actors under fire. MAYBE YOU CAN. BUT I COULDN’T.
Secondly, I did criticised Livanov’s acting. BUT plz compare the language I used to what Donfrye said about JB/EH/DB.
June 19th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
As a matter of fact, Donfrye made a lot of sense when he said that Watson should be young.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:51 am
I’m Russian too. This guy 22omg22 appeared on this website and said some bad things calling Livanov’s fans narrow-minded!!! I agree with Frye. And I don’t understand how he can be supported! Russians are with you, Donfrye! And our Holmes is the best.
June 22nd, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I definitely second that!
June 25th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
sorry, typo again. Missed a “for”. “I sincerely apologize FOR any disrespects…”(Actually I didn’t mean to show any disrespects.)

Я бы сказала о монументальности, грандиозности некоторых сюжетов. А назвала бы – “нефильтрованный реал”. На мой взгляд, красота – это все-таки другое: лучшее, чистое, избранное, заставляющее трепетать и поражаться. Можно найти красоту во всем, но всё скопом – не есть красота. Имхо.
