"The Man with the Twisted Lip"

From the Series: The Return of Sherlock Holmes

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, Edward Hardwicke as Dr Watson (13 episodes)
First published in "The Strand Magazine" Dec 1891 (TWIS)

Synopsis:
Can Holmes save the beggar with the twisted lip from the hangman's noose?

Review:
I liked this episode, the story at least. Holmes solves the case with a bit of meditation and some clever deductions. Not the biggest mystery to solve but an enjoyable one.


Staring into the fire


“Holmes!” I whispered


He flicked the Horse with his whip


At the foot of the stairs she met this Lascar scoundrel


He is a professional beggar


Stuffs all the coins into the pockets


“Frankly, now,” she repeated


The pipe was still between his lips


He took out a very large bath sponge


He broke into a scream
