The first and only American television series of Sherlock Holmes adventures aired in syndication in the fall of 1954.

I decided my copy of Nero 12 should have a better use than it has, so I decided to make a DVD of the month club of sorts. You can download the DVD below and burn it on to a blank DVD or you can use Daemon tools lite (free) to mount it so your PC player can play it. (DT will make your PC pretend you inserted a DVD). Videolan also will play a DVD image.

Right click here and select “save as” to download the image ~3.1 GB

This movie is in the public domain so feel free to make copies for your friends.

Notice: it’s a big file so you might want to download this while you’re sleeping or at work.

José Ferrer received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his starring performance as Cyrano de Bergerac. Mala Powers played Roxane, and William Prince portrayed Christian de Neuvillette. It’s the epic love story about Cyrano whose large nose kept him from expressing his love for his distant cousin Roxanne. Cyrano de Bergerac is closely based on the stage play written in 1897 by Edmond Rostand.

Keep an eye out for Max Showalter as the Lieutenant on the killer’s trail. He would later play MANY bit roles in Dragnet, a show that seems a direct descendant of this one–”normal” LAPD cops trying to deal with dangerous freaks.

A little tinkering on my part and I created an instant Old Time Radio station.

Listen with Winamp/VLC

If you don’t see a player over there on your left, you probably are using Firefox and don’t have an MP3 player. Install VLC and make sure you check the browser related plugins when you install. An Ipad or Iphone will work, click on the icon. Android and Kindle Fire users can find the Retrovision Channel in the Winamp Android app.

My thinking is that I will post a new playlist about 8 hours long every week or so using only the best shows and the best recordings.

You can add Retrovision to your web radio manually by using the following url:

Attention Kindle Fire users. Winamp for Android in the Amazon store is very old and broken. This beta (click) works fine. Manually install it. Important: Uninstall Winamp if you already have it installed and then install this app.
