all things sherlock holmes 🔍
Out of many waterfalls in the Bernese Oberland, Reichenbach Falls seems to have made the greatest impression on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was shown them on a Swiss holiday by his host Sir Henry Lunn, the founder of Lunn Poly.
The actual ledge from which Moriarty fell is on the other side of the falls from the funicular; it is accessible by climbing the path to the top of the falls, crossing the bridge and following the trail down the hill. The ledge is marked by a plaque as illustrated here; the English inscription reads: “At this fearful place, Sherlock Holmes vanquished Professor Moriarty, on 4 May 1891.”

I turned in uncontrollable astonishment. The aged ecclesiastic had turned his face towards me. For an instant the wrinkles were smoothed away, the nose drew away from the chin, the lower lip ceased to protrude and the mouth to mumble, the dull eyes regained their fire, the drooping figure expanded. The next the whole frame collapsed again, and Holmes had gone as quickly as he had come. “Good heavens!” I cried; “how you startled me!”

Fun Fact: in one month (1/1/23), all Sherlock Holmes stories hit the public domain and the Conan Doyle Estate can't do shit! I say this for absolutely no reason but also congrats in advance to the happy couple.

i am going to develop stomach ulcers with this shit lenfilm is struggling so much its youtube channel seized to exist like today and 98% of its library is gone including soviet holmes, looks like as of today

it is available with its new host, hate them for the logo

no subtitles are there, so visit my subtitled shit page with a soviet holmes section there that compiled about two sub archives you can download

and now an instruction how to use substital or an equivalent browser extension that lets you slap subs on any video on the internet. you can even get subs from their own search engine if you dont want to download them
