Controversial upon its first publication in 1893, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Cardboard Box confronts some nasty consequences of adultery. In this Granada Television production of the story, Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett) and Dr. Watson (Edward Hardwicke) link the grisly mailing of two severed human ears with a complicated love triangle between the Cushing sisters and a man who married one of them. Holmes, an expert in ears, naturally (having written two separate monographs on them), has no problem with the mystery of where they came from. But toward what end mortals pursue "this circle of misery, violence, and fear" is another question. In ill health at the time and near the end of his run as the famous detective, Brett nevertheless gives a focused, remarkable performance while Hardwicke lends strong support. --Tom Keogh

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes for the last time, May 4, 2003
Reviewer:

Jeremy Brett's failing health caused this to be the last film in which he starred as Sherlock Holmes. Some people think that his health affected the quality of the performance, but, in my opinion, it's one of the best in Granada's "Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes." I highly reccomend it.
