I like this one. The colors, the placement of the words. I confess though that I have not seen any Sherlock Holmes. Maybe Buckaroo will flix one for me to watch.

You guys really seem to like them. What would you recommend??

Very cool. I used to watch these with my father, who loved them. Ida Lupino is cool, too -- one of the first women directors aside from a Nazi or two ;)

Pookie- I'm not sure if Sherlock is Buckaroo's cup of tea but a good one to start with would be The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Erik- Your dad sounds like my kinda guy.

No shit Sherlock!

It's schlocky and more like the cover of a throwaway pulp novel than a movie poster.

I love it!

Yeah, if I had the space, I might (scratch that) WOULD seek out some of these Rathbone Sherlock posters. There's some really great ones.

Speaking of Sherlock, the Jeremy Brett BBC versions are being re-released from the original negatives in one ginormous set.
