'Mortal Fight'

'M afraid I must use a link here, because the video in question is on a Russian website. BUT for those of you who like Sherlock Holmes, this is a must-see. You can skip through most of it if you like, I suppose, but Holmes' showdown with Moriarty is absolutely amazing. It makes the Granada version look like kid's play. So I'd say you could jump ahead to 41:30 if you want to.

And for those of you who haven't read the book *gasp* this episode is an adaptation of 'The Final Problem'. So read it first!

  1. Ooooh, I was about to watch it but am forbidden by thyself! I haven't read too much of Sherlock Holmes, although it's been on my to-read list for forever. So I'll check by the library tomorrow for this book and see what comes of it.

    Cheers!

  2. Good for you, lol! But it shouldn't take you too long. The story's actually a short story, so it's part of a collection. I think the full title's The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.

  3. And I suppose you COULD watch it before reading it . . . just I always advocate reading source material first. You know.
