| I made this in May 2007 in the full
bloom of discovering a new fandom. To connect the dots that led to
me making this video...
I started reading the Sherlock Holmes mysteries anew and fell in love with the canon. The abundant subtext then drove me to fall in love with the fanfic. Then I started viewing the British series of Sherlock Holmes mysteries from the
mid-1980s to '90s. Fell in love with Jeremy Brett. Upon devouring all things Brett
and creating a Web site
for him. I learned that he had played
Freddy in the film version of "My Fair Lady" many moons ago. His character sings one of my all-time favorite songs, "On the Street Where You
Live" (but some idiot unfairly decided to dub his splendid singing
voice).
Nevertheless, the song played over and over and over in my head (and my tape deck) for
days on end and insisted that I create a Holmes & Watson fanvid.
So, here's the result:
On the Street Where You Live
(.wmv format).The song you hear is from the original Broadway cast of "My Fair
Lady," with vocals by John Michael King as Freddy Eynsford-Hill.
The clips are from "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,"
starring Jeremy Brett and David Burke.
