To think that I always believed Laurence Olivier to be the ideal Maxim. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine anyone topping him. But Jeremy Brett surpassed him far beyond my expectations. He took the role of Maxim and literally made it his own. I've never thought of Jeremy as an actor. I've always seen him as Holmes. This was refreshing and gave me a new perspective on his remarkably diverse talents as a performer. Truly, this film is perfect, absolutely perfect, from beginning to end. Where has it been all my life!? Now to impatiently wait for it to be released on DVD. Unfortunately, that could be another lifetime in and of itself.
