So many people posting about court jesters but not enough people posting about The Court Jester (1955)

I think a lot about how all versions of Watson don’t see themselves as anything special, meanwhile all versions Sherlock Holmes are looking at them like “This is the most wonderful human being who ever lived and the only person I want to spend all my time with for the rest of my life.”

Propaganda

Basil Rathbone (the Sherlock Holmes movies, The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Court Jester)—ok most people will tell you he's the best Sherlock Holmes ever but I crushed hard on him when I saw him as the villain for The Court Jester. best swordsman in all of Hollywood at his time.

Vincent Price (Laura, Leave Her to Heaven, House on Haunted Hill, The Masque of the Red Death)—svelte, stylish, horrifying, beautiful, wickedly funny, camp and gorgeous and evil. he was an art connoisseur who advocated passionately indigenous art, he was an actual literal gourmet cook, he was so liberal he got greylisted during the mccarthy era for being too rad, he's my favorite muppets guest of all time

This is round 3 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

Ok Sherlock Holmes People, I have a question for us all....

I don't mean which was your first adaptation, I mean which was the one that took root forever in your brain and turned this into a lifestyle! I started with the Doyle.

@i-dont-talk-for-days-on-end help me spread this around?

Vincent Price and Peter Lorre as Waldo Trumbull and his assistant, Felix Gillie attempt to murder Trumbull's landlord, Mr. Black (Basil Rathbone) and shove him inside of a casket alive.

This purple doublet is an excellent example of how costumes are altered and adapted for new productions. 

The costume likely originated with the 1955 film The Court Jester, where Basil Rathbone wore it as Sir Ravenhurst, though it is possible that it came from an earlier production, as The Court Jester did recycle some of its costumes.

The piece was used again in the 1961 film Snow White and the Three Stooges, where Guy Rolfe wore it as Count Olga. The costume underwent alterations to give it the look of having slashed sleeves.

DAMN YOU @bajingoarts DAMN YOU

Y’all their stuff is so amazing I can’t even- and CRIPES THEIR WRITING-

Pic below is a spoiler for their A03 fic, Year of The Rat, that you should definitely if you love The Great Mouse Detective but don’t think it was gay enough. (Because let’s face it, basil and Ratigan were FRUITY AF) (also the fic has warnings as well but it is for a mature audience) :)

Never regret anything you have done with a sincere affection; nothing is lost that is born of the heart.

I’ve just watched The Great Mouse Detective and now every time I watch Granada Holmes or any of the Basil Rathbone movies I’ll remind myself that there’s a lil mouse fanboy under Baker Street listening in on what Holmes and Watson are saying and waiting until they leave to mess with their stuff and use their dog.
