Jeremy Brett As Sherlock Holmes

Bending the Willow

Sarah Escorsa

This book provides fantastic insight into the Sherlock series and Jeremy Brett's personality. I'd seen Brett in "My Fair Lady" but, like many others, had no idea it was him until reading this book. I didn't know Brett was manic depressive and it was interesting to read how his illness affected the filming of the series. The similarities between Brett's behaviour and the way he portrayed Holmes in some episodes are particularly striking. It was also very interesting to read the comments of those involved with the series (producers, screenwriters, actors...). A very enjoyable read!
