Russian Video: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (Movie: Bloody Inscription)!

Hello,

Today we continue watching a wonderful Russian movie about greatest English detective Sherlock Holmes. For our readers who missed the first part we recommend to watch it first:

Russian Video: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (Movie: Acquaintance)!

Today we are watching a movie: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (1979), Second episode: “Bloody Inscription” (based on A Study in Scarlet).

So we are watching the second part:

A lot of watchers admire the music in Sherlock Holmes movies. The author of this music is Russian composer Vladimir Dashkevich. Composer of music for more than 70 Soviet and Russian movies, was born on the 20th January 1934. Music from the movies was 5 times nominated for Nika award and one time it won Nika.

Vladimir Dashkevich tells: The music for Sherlock Holmes movie was composed without any afford. His friend and director of the movie Igor Maslennikov constantly called him from Leningrad (where they were shooting the movie) to Moscow and reminded that was time to compose the music. When he called me the third time I did not want to upset him took the phone closer to piano and started to play the first what came to my head. That’s how the famous overture was made. When someone accused Picasso for panting one of his masterpieces for 15 minutes. He told that he painted it 15 minutes and whole life. I could tell about the music the same. I love the Conan Doyle stories from my childhood and this music was born in me long long time ago, it just waited its time to sound. People tells that the music was composed in English style. I think that is the dream about beautiful and romantic England, a dream what was born in Russia.

To download the music from the Sherlock Holmes movies you can on the site: Music from Sherlock Holmes Movies. When you click on music-link first you’ll see Yandex page (because Yandex hosts these files with mp3) click on the mp3-link and you’ll get the music.

And one more good news for all us:
Next year we’ll continue to watch Russian movies about Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.

Russian Video: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (Movie: Acquaintance)!

Hello,

Do you like detectives? I love them. Every day when I am riding metro to work and back home I am reading detective stories. And if I don’t have a new one I think that I just waste my time in metro. But tastes are different and may be you don’t like detectives that much, but I am sure that you still love Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories. And today we will watch the best screen version of his stories. How do I know that the movie is the best screen version that’s because when you visit museum of Sherlock Holmes in London on Baker Street on the second flour you will see pictures of all actors who’ve ever played Sherlock Holmes and the biggest portrait in the middle of wall is a picture of Vasiliy Livanov (who played Sherlock Holmes in this movie) and everybody (even cinematographers from Great Britain) admits that he was the best. So now we have a chance to watch a real story of real Sherlock Holmes.

Today we are watching a movie: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (1979), First episode: “Acquaintance” (based on A Study in Scarlet and The Adventure of the Speckled Band).
