I just wish I the humor he sprinkled into so many stories. Gifted.<br /><br />Rich, Sometimes I forget Doyle lived long enough to see him in films. So yes, multi media indeed.<br /><br />Evan, Ha. Simpatico are we. I mentioned that to my wife, how great it would be to plop down beside A.C. Doyle and attend the show. I am working on a time machine, of sorts, with Chris Holm, Matt Mayo, and Charles Gramlich but more about that soon.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-65618451590575139462010-06-04T10:09:54.694-04:002010-06-04T10:09:54.694-04:00I'd love to attend that play.

I have several paperback versions here and there but a thorough anthology would be nice.<br /><br />David, DRESSED TO KILL was my first VHS purchase circa 1986. Not the greatest Holmes flick but I've since watched that and the others many times. There are some Rathbone audio versions that are worthwhile too.<br /><br />Leah, "The Ransom of Red Chief" is a hoot and remains a popular favorite. I just checked Wiki and it was published in 1910, the year he passed.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-9753707518470027702010-06-04T07:50:30.507-04:002010-06-04T07:50:30.507-04:00A beginning and an ending.

They're fantastic. I remember watching them with my dad when I was a kid.<br /><br />After Twenty Years. A great story. Great imagery and a great ending. Friendship runs deep.
