Les Enquêtes de Sherlock Holmes
Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française, 1958-1960
38 episodes, ~30-40mn
Directed by Abder Isker
Adapted by Jean Marcillac
Holmes: Maurice Teynac, Michel Etcheverry, and Georges Descrières
Watson: Pierre Mondy, René Clermont, and Pierre Destailles
A rather excellent, though French-language, mid-century radio series. Mostly canonical stories, with a couple of Adrian Conan Doyle pastiches thrown in. Although they are available for free on the official INA website, I did download them to cut out the modern ads. Do give them a go if you can speak the language, great acting and a lot of interesting adaptation choices. Sadly, not a lot of information available about it, even in French. Maurice Teynac, who is the main Holmes actor, also appears in a few roles in the Sheldon Reynolds 1954 TV series.
