"Original motion picture soundtrack."

It has not been possible to determine the exact number of motion pictures about Sherlock Holmes, but over 175 are known. The films are arranged in approximate chronological order -- from 1900 to 1988 -- and by the names of the actors who portray Holmes and Watson.

A number of films have in their title the name "Sherlock Holmes" or a variation. These, together with some other pseudo-Sherlockian films, usually characterize the detective as a comic figure. Because there is relatively little to connect them with Holmes or with the Canonical tales, or because more complete information is lacking, they are not included in this section. Among these films are: Miss Sherlock Holmes (Edison Mfg. Co., 1908); A Squeedunk Sherlock Holmes (Edison Mfg. Co., 1909); El Piccolo Sherlock Holmes (La Itala Film, 1909); The Diamond Swindler (Nordisk Film, 1910) -- adapted from the adventures of Harry Taxon; Arsène Lupin contra Sherlock Holmes (Berlin: Vitascope GmbH, 1910), with Viggo Larsen and Paul Otto; Sherlock Holmes contra Professor Moryarty (Berlin: Vitascope GmbH, 1911), with Viggo Larsen and Paul Otto; Sherlock Holmes, Jr. (Rex Motion Picture Co., 1911), with Helen Anderson; Sherlock Holmes roulé par Rigadin (France: 1911); The Flag of Distress (Imp Films Co., 1912), with H. S. Mack as Mr. Sherlocko and J. W. Cumpson as Reuben Wilson; Surelock Jones, Detective (Thanhouser Co., 1912); The Robbery at the Railroad Station (Champion Film Co., 1912) -- a short comic film featuring Sherlocko and Watso; A Midget Sherlock Holmes (Pathé Frères, 1912); Baby Sherlock (Powers, 1912); Burstup Homes, Detective (Solax Co., 1913); Burstup Homes' Murder Case (Solax Co., 1913); The Mystery of the Lost Cat (Solax Co., 1913), featuring Burstup Homes; The Case of the Missing Girl (Solax Co., 1913), featuring Burstup Homes; The Amateur Sleuth (Gaumont Co., 1913), featuring Herlock Sholmes; Homlock Shermes (Crystal Film Co., 1913), with Pearl White; The Sherlock Holmes Girl (Thomas A. Edison, 1914), with Bliss Milford; Sherlock Bonehead (Kalem Co., 1914), with Marshal Neilan, Ruth Roland, Lloyd Hamilton, and Dick Rosson; The Amateur Detective (Thanhouser Film Corp., 1914), with Carey L. Hastings and Ernest C. Ward; The Champeen Detective (Superba, 1914), with Charles DeForrest; Sherlock, the Boob Detective (Thistle, 1915), with Rena Rogers and Allen Fralick; A Study in Skarlit (Comedy Combine-Sunny South, 1915), with Fred Evans as Sherlokz Homz and Will Evans as Professor Moratorium; A Society Sherlock (Victor, 1916), with William Garwood and Irma Dawkins; Sherlock Ambrose (L-KO, 1918), with Mack Swain; Sherlock Brown (Metro, 1921) -- "a detective yarn not according to Doyle," with Bert Lytell; Sherlock Jr. (Metro, 1924), with Buster Keaton; Sherlock Sleuth (Pathé Exchange, 1925), with Arthur Stone; Paramount on Parade (Paramount, 1930) -- a Hollywood frolic containing a satirical sketch on murder mysteries, with Clive Brook as Sherlock Holmes, William Powell as Philo Vance, Warner Oland as Fu Manchu, Eugene Pallette as Sergeant Heath, and Jack Oakie as the victim; Sherlock's Home (Vitaphone Corp., 1932); The Radio Murder Mystery (William Rowland-Monte Brice Productions, 1933), with Richard Gordon as Sherlock Holmes; Crazy House (Universal Pictures Co., 1943) -- an Olsen and Johnson film in which Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce appear briefly in the opening scene; The Big Noise (20th Century-Fox, 1944) -- Laurel and Hardy are shown in deerstalkers and pyjamas, with Laurel smoking a calabash pipe; Arsenio Lupín (Mexico: Pereda Films, 1945) -- includes the final scene from Leblanc's "Herlock Sholmès arrive trop tard"; Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (Universal-International, 1951) -- released in Germany under the title Auf Sherlock Holmes Spuren [In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes].

The Sherlock Holmes Society of London et al also have produced several documentary films: The Sage of Baker Street (1951); A Baker Street By-way (1959); The World of Sherlock Holmes (1960); Return to Hempstead (1960); The Life of Sherlock Holmes (1968); In the Footsteps of Sherlock Holmes (1968); Mr. Sherlock Holmes of London (1971).

C19593. -- A5100. Sherlock Holmes Baffled. American Mutoscope and Biograph Co., April 1900, c. February 1903. 1 reel. 18 ft. 16 mm.

"An early trick film, clearly made for viewing on a mutoscope or peepshow machine. Although a tiny, trivial piece, it is historic as being the earliest known use of Sherlock Holmes in moving pictures." (Michael Pointer)

The film was photographed on the roof of the New York studio by Arthur Marvin on April 26, 1900, but was not copyrighted until 1903.

C19613. -- A5120. Sherlock Holmes Solves "The Sign of the Four." Thanhouser. Released February 25, 1913.

Partial cast: Harry Benham (Sherlock Holmes).

"This two-reel film gives us a new kind of Sherlock Holmes, a younger and heavier built man than we usually see in the part. But once the story gets into action, with its weird, oriental atmosphere, we forget everything else. The story of the Agra treasure is pictured for us in an intensely fascinating manner. The one-legged man, the East Indian with his blow-pipe, the Sholtos, the Baker Street lodgings, the scenes in India, and the various exciting episodes combine to make this a successful offering. The treasure never comes into the hands of the rightful owner, Mary, as it was cast into the river. A strong production of a famous narrative."

"The main feature of this reel ... is the fact that the cast is composed entirely of colored players. It is a burlesque on the Sherlock Holmes stories, and, while there are some amusing scenes, there is a tendency among all of the players to overact. Its strongest point is the novelty of the cast."

"Although John Barrymore chose to impersonate the great detective in a farcical manner, he realized the character perfectly. Albert Parker reproduced the thrill of the original stories both in his action and his characterization. The backgrounds, many of which were photographed in England, were exceptionally beautiful."

The only sound film ever made of Doyle. Reconstructed by Blackhawk Films.

"He relates how, in 1886, he came to write the Sherlock Holmes stories, and for five minutes he gives a rich and humorous history of his scientific detective in a warm Scotch burr. But even dearer to Doyle than Holmes was his belief in the afterlife, and in the last half of the film the famous author discusses the psychic faith for which he endured such hostility and to which he was so deeply committed."

"Sherlock Holmes has come to the screen in the likes of Basil Rathbone, among others, as has the blood-curdling Jack the Ripper in such frightening items as The Lodger and Hangover Square. But the twain had never met in the movies until A Study in Terror. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle never thought of such a meeting, but the supersleuth and the superkiller are well met now because a sense of humor and an unvarnished, old-fashioned melodrama raise the film several cuts above the normal chiller dreamed up these days. John Neville, Donald Houston, John Fraser, Anthony Quayle, Robert Morley and a convoy of comely and brutish denizens of Whitechapel maintain the formal attitudes and authentic Victorian melodramatic flavor that is fictional but fascinating to watch. ... The entire cast play their roles well enough to make wholesale slaughter a pleasant diversion." (A. J. Weiler)

He dresses like him, talks like him, etc. His psychiatrist, Dr. Mildred Watson, gradually comes to believe in him and together they go out into the world to defeat the Moriartys. One of the most refreshing and entertaining Holmes films ever made, with an actor whose performance equals those of Gillette and Rathbone.

The reviews of this film were mixed, from "a joy to watch" (San Francisco Examiner), "a total delight" (Variety), and "a charming Holmesian pastiche" (Saturday Review) to "a misguided spoof" (Playboy), "most keenly regretted disappointment" (The Toronto Star), and "witless and highly predictable" (Virginian-Pilot). The compiler's sentiments are with the latter opinions. The film should have been entitled The Misadventure of Sherlock Holmes' Dimwitted Brother!

Nominated by the Motion Picture Academy for the best screenplay adaptation and for costume design.

"The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, producer-director Herbert Ross's elegant rendering of the Nicholas Meyer pastiche [DB5077], not only sets a new standard for Holmesian concoctions (with Alan Arkin's Sigmund Freud a worthy cohort for Nicol Williamson's and Robert Duvall's refurbishment of Holmes-Watson impersonations) but also gives a touch of class and sophistication to the near-spoofery of a classic character.

Produced from an original screenplay entitled Sherlock Holmes and Saucy Jack, by John Hopkins, 1977.

"What better than a new Sherlock Holmes movie, particularly when Christopher Plummer and James Mason give you the great detective and his Watson in such high style that all their predecessors pale by comparison? ... Casting a contemporary eye on the past, Hopkins has come up with a fascinating sociopolitical adventure that pits Holmes against Jack the Ripper in a melodrama that involves radicals, police, and persons in very high places. Directed by Bob Clark, the lush production is marked by a top-rank cast, with Plummer and Mason getting elegant support from David Hemmings, Susan Clark, Genevieve Bujold, and Donald Sutherland."

"This mélange was created from A Scandal in Bohemia, The Final Problem and The Adventure of the Empty House, with a gay disregard for characters, places and time, all of which are adapted to the author's convenience. Holmes and Professor Moriarty do indeed fall over a cliff in supposedly mortal combat, but in the rather contrived and amusing happy ending, the villain escapes to the Continent, and Holmes, that coldly calculating intellectual machine, falling ever so slightly under the spell of Irene Adler, the American actress-adventuress, is about to follow her to America." (William H. Matthews, Jr.)
