This, one of the last of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series, is a class above the earlier episodes in terms of the power of the story as well as of the acting. Whilst nearly all Holmes stories involved violent death they were as written essentially entertaining puzzles rather than literature with any artistic pretensions. This adaptation though raises it to art due to the inclusion two fine actors: Joanna David and Ciaran Hinds, the powerful script and excellent direction. It is more in the league of a classic book adaptation. As mentioned by an earlier reviewer, the tone is considerably darker than others in the long running series and not quite the comfortable tea-time viewing of its predecessors.
