Vasily
Livanov was born on this day in 1935. He achieved fame for his portrayal of
Sherlock Holmes in the Russian adaptation (1979 – 1986). Directed by Igor
Maslennikov, the series is quite faithful to the canon and has an excellent
soundtrack by Vladimir Dashkevich. Vitaly Solomin made a great Solomin as well.
Livanov, in my humble opinion, gave the definitive performance as Canonical Holmes. His calm and collected Holmes is one that I have always loved and keep coming back to any number of times. A true classic in every sense of the word.
Happy
Birthday, Sir. Here’s wishing for a long and healthy life ahead.
Happy birthday, Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch. Here’s wishing for a successful movie career ahead, that will keep you off BBC for quite some time!
