''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson'' ((ロシア語:Приключения Шерлока Холмса и доктора Ватсона)) is a series of television films made by Soviet television. They were directed by Igor Maslennikov. In 2006, Vasily Livanov became an Honorary MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes. == Plot and production == Between 1979 and 1986, Soviet television produced a series of five films at the Lenfilm movie studio, split into eleven episodes, starring Vasily Livanov as Sherlock Holmes and Vitaly Solomin as Dr. Watson. Later, a cinematic adaptation was made based on the 1986 episodes. This film was called ''The Twentieth Century Approaches''. The series ran as follows: * 1979 ''Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson'' * * 1st episode: "Acquaintance" (based on ''A Study in Scarlet'' and "The Adventure of the Speckled Band"). * * 2nd episode: "Bloody Inscription" (based on ''A Study in Scarlet'', with a scene from ''The Sign of the Four'' at the beginning). * 1980 ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson'' * * 1st episode: "The Master-Blackmailer" (based on "The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton", with scenes from "Silver Blaze" and "The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter" at the beginning). * * 2nd episode: "Deadly Fight" (based on "The Final Problem"). * * 3rd episode: "Hunt for the Tiger" (based on "The Adventure of the Empty House"). * 1981 ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Hound of the Baskervilles''. Two episodes based on ''The Hound of the Baskervilles''. * 1983 ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Treasures of Agra''. Two episodes based on ''The Sign of the Four'' and "A Scandal in Bohemia". * 1986 ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Twentieth Century Approaches''. Two episodes based on "The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb", "The Adventure of the Second Stain", "The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans" and "His Last Bow". Unlike some of their Western counterparts, the films are very close to the literary source. Some of the departures include Holmes' easy-going and humorous demeanor, as well as comic relief provided by some of the characters (most notably that of Sir Henry Baskerville and his butler Barrymore in ''The Hound of the Baskervilles'' episode). The series' soundtrack was composed by Vladimir Dashkevich; the introductory piece has become one of the most recognizable pieces of cinematic music in the former Soviet Union. The tune intentionally resembles an hourly musical logo played on the shortwave BBC World Service, and Maslennikov confirmed in a later interview that he wanted a very similar tune which could be identified with the spirit of Great Britain. A street in old Riga doubles as Baker Street. The same street was used for exterior locations for several Soviet features set in the West. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
