Sherlock Holmes On Screen has it all, starting with Sherlock Baffled, a silent film parody that finds Holmes unable to find the burglar who is burglarizing his own apartment at 221B Baker Street.
BOOK TITLE feels exhaustive in its cataloging of the appearances of Holmes (and his relatives and descendants) on TV and film, but it's not an exhausting experience because Barnes leavens out the nitty gritty details with wonderfully snarky reviews of the films and TV shows. It's an extraordinary work that manages to be both incredibly informative and hugely entertaining.
#REVIEW SHERLOCK HOLMES CUMBERBATCH MOVIE#
From the very earliest days of silent movies to thousands of movie screens this Christmas, Holmes keeps coming back to our screens, with each iteration revealing just as much about the audiences of the time as about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective.Īlan Barnes' Sherlock Holmes On Screen is an encyclopedic overview of Holmes' cinematic - and televisual - history. There are few fictional characters who have been cinematically interpreted and reinterpreted as often as Sherlock Holmes.
