This time Frič dared to act under Lamač's direction and in Burian's film. His Holmes performance is really something unprecedented, especially since he lacks a Watson. The theme of variations on Doyle, here in the original transcription by Vavris and later by Wasserman, is really as common as saffron in Central Europe in the 1930s. In total, three films were made, two of them directed by Lamač. After the double production of Lelicek in the Services of Sherlock Holmes, he made The Hound of the Baskervilles in Germany in 1936, and a year later the popular Reich actors Hans Albers and Heinz Rühmann took up the theme in Two Merry Adventurers. I really like Betty Kysilková's absurd dance, and I'm sad that the double role, which was eventually played by Lída Baarová (though a wonderful actress just starting out), should have gone to Suzanne Marwille (who looked just as good, and her film experience was not inconsiderable). At least Frič compensated her in Adjutant to His Highness.

It might be a bit of silly nonsense, and Vlasta Burian may be overacting a bit, perhaps repeating himself too much and being overly absurd, but the whole plot and execution resonated with me so much that I simply had a great time and the film charmed me. That's what happens when you come across certain old films at a time when they just click with you.
