If you ask the audience in our country "What did Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson look like?" - I think that the overwhelming majority will say - as in the films of Igor Maslennikov. After all, the popularity of this really wonderful series is very high. But are Vasily Livanov and Vitaly Solomin really similar to their characters?
But let's compare. With what or by whom, you ask? Well, for example, with illustrations for the first edition of The Baskervilles' Dogs, which were made by Sidney Edward Paget during Conan Doyle's lifetime in 1902. Here's a comparison of Holmes from that old book and Holmes Vasily Livanov
I do not know about you, but for me - the similarity is obvious
With Watson the matter is more complicated. The fact is that since the stories about the great detective go on his behalf, there is practically no description in the text. And how he looks opinions diverge. But there is one but. Since the narrator is actually the author, it can be assumed that Watson should look like Conan Doyle. Well, let's compare the portraits of Conan Doyle and Watson in the performance of Vitaly Solomin
Well, how? Do you still have doubts about who is the best Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson?
