This is an excellent British TV production of Thomas Hardy's classic novel. I watched it after I saw the updated version on A&E starring Ciaran Hinds (which is good too). This version is about 3 times as long and more true to the novel. Excellent acting and on location filming make this a winner. It's in a live play style. Its about a drunken husband who sells his wife and daughter to a sailor at a rural fair because he can't support them. Years later, this decision comes back to haunt him. Good morality story of how a bad decision can ruin people for life.

Sherlock Holmes is approached by Mr. Scott-Eccles who recounts strange events. He recently dined with an acquaintance, a Spanish gentleman named Diaz with whom he shared an interest in map making. He spent the night at Mr. Diaz' rented home, Wisteria Lodge, but awoke the next morning to find the house abandoned. Thinking that Diaz might be doing a runner, he contacted the landlord but was told that the man's rent had been paid in full. A somewhat bored Holmes agrees to look into these mysterious circumstances surrounding the case but the local constabulary, in the form of Inspector Baynes, make it very clear that he is out to make a reputation for himself by solving this case without the Great Detective's help.

An example of ironic Soviet propagandistic film from the silent era, this film chronicles the adventures of an American, "Mr. West," and his faithful bodyguard and servant Jeddie, as they visit the land of the horrible, evil Bolsheviks. Through various mishaps, Mr. West discovers that the Soviets are actually quite remarkable people, and, by the end of the film, his opinion of them has changed to one of glowing admiration!
