Sherlock Holmes - Sherlock Holmes

Download this episode (29 min)
From 1939 to 1946, Basil Rathbone played the role of Sherlock Holmes opposite his friend, Nigel Bruce as Dr. John H. Watson, both on the screen and on radio. On May 27, 1946, Mr. Rathbone portrayed Holmes for the last time in the last show of THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK
HOOMES 1945-46 season, "The Singular Affair of the Baconian Cipher".

Rathbone had been offered a seven year contract to continue in the role, but he wanted to return to the theater and was honestly tired of portraying the famous detective. (He did play Holmes twice more,
once on the TV version of SUSPENCE series, in "The Adventure of the Black Baronet" (May 26, 1953) and in a stage production of Sherlock Holmes, the Doyle/Gillette play (opened Oct. 30, 1953, NYC).

Besides the absence of Basil Rathbone, the 1946-47 season saw a number of other changes. Without Rathbone, Petri Wine dropped sponsorship. Kremel hair products became sponsor. The show moved from Mutual to ABC. The announcer changed from Harry Bartell to Joseph Bell, who had served in that role early in the Mutual run.
And, Sherlock Holmes was now played by Tom Conway.

Conway was a good choice for Holmes. He had played the role of the Falcon in the movies and was a seasoned actor. He had a similar clipped accent to Rathbone. Had it not been for audience acceptance of the Holmes characterization by Rathbone, the Conway/Bruce duo may
have survived. Although there wasn't the Rathbone/Bruce interplay, they performed their roles well. However, Nigel Bruce's role was more prominent than it had been. In fact, he was given top billing.

Even with excellent scripts by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher, all the changes to the series were too much for the audience to absorb. At the end of one season, Conway and Bruce were replaced by John Stanley and Alfred Shirley.

There were further changes in cast, but the series ended at the close of the 1949-50 season on June 14, 1950.
