content
The leading roles in this classic crime series played Erich Schellow as Sherlock Holmes and Paul Edwin Roth as Dr. Watson. All six episodes were directed by Paul May . The scripts are all by English authors who originally wrote them for a British BBC series of the same name and who were translated into German after they were screened in Great Britain. A synchronization of the BBC series was not legally possible, which is why it had to be made into an independent film in the FRG, similar to the multi-part series by Francis Durbridge . All six episodes were shot exclusively in the studio, including the outdoor scenes. The films were always broadcast on Sundays. The individual episodes do not have a series subtitle in the opening credits, but instead begin with the insertion of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle . Then the title of the film appears.
