Movie Reviews of Sherlock Holmes - The Master Blackmailer
Movie Review: Splendid!
Summary: 5 Stars
You'll enjoy this one. A good storyline of avarice and cunning coming to an end. The Victorian setting and lavish backdrop was pleasant to see. How the wealthy can be taken advantage of if they make the least error of indiscretion.
Summary of Sherlock Holmes - The Master Blackmailer
Based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton," this two-hour 1991 adaptation for the most part sticks close to the details of the original. Holmes (Jeremy Brett) takes on the reputed king of all blackmailers, Milverton (Robert Hardy), who has made a fortune extorting money from the famous and the blueblooded and who routinely ruins others' lives when not pleased. Unable to talk Milverton into turning over letters belonging to Lady Eva Brackenwell, Holmes decides to steal them, going undercover as a plumber and even romancing Milverton's housemaid, Agatha (Sophie Thompson), to gain better access in the house. (The ethical Watson, played by Edward Hardwicke, is upset to hear of Holmes's deception of an innocent woman.) The story builds to a surprisingly violent finale, but the real hook is Brett's performance as the disguised detective and the startling suggestion that Holmes's close contact with Agatha truly moved the bachelor sleuth. --Tom KeoghArt House & International DVD Video
