Product Description

Synopsis
Sherlock Holmes was the first pop icon of the modern age, instantly identifiable by his silhouette alone. He has appeared more times on-screen than any other fictional character. Created just before the birth of cinema, Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle's detective has packed in cinema-goers across the world, and has been the subject of movies not only in his native Britain and in Hollywood, but in countries as diverse Spain, Russia, Hungary and Japan. Sherlock Holmes on Screen includes all Holmes' 300 plus film appearances - the most comprehensive Holmes filmography ever published. This includes films from the silent era through the Basil Rathbone movies of the forties; films from France, Germany, Italy; films from Hammer studios in the UK and Roger Corman in the USA; Billy Wilder's Private Life of Sherlock Holmes of 1970 and many, many more. The book also lists television versions of Holmes, including a version directed by Steven Spielberg and an appearance in Star Trek. Sherlock Holmes on Screen also contains over one hundred illustrations, many never before seen; plus a guide to the original Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There are over one thousand Sherlock Holmes societies throughout the world, including the USA's Baker Street Irregulars, which boasts over 5000 members. The popularity and vigour of these societies are a public testament to the enduring power of Conan Doyle's most famous creation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The (almost) complete film & tv history of Sherlock Holmes, 20 April 2007
By Darryl Green (Chester U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The only thing i can find wrong with this book is that it has not been updated past 2003. maybe its time to bring out another updated edition, to include things such as Rupert Everert's superb "Sherlock holmes & the silk stocking murders" Though that is a small quibble indeed. This book is strangely all encompassing for its size (289 pages with lots of pictues, many of which I had not seen before.) Even obsure Russian and Polish TV series are included, and apparently, very good they are. Indeed how the author managed to view some of the obscure films and tv series in the book is a wonder indeed (this reviewer knows firsthand the difficulties involved in tracking down such items) For example. Alan Barnes has viewed such hard to get hold of items such as the entire Douglas Wilmer BBC tv series, as well as the exsisting Eilie Norwood silent shows from the 1920's. I have had to make do with two Norwood silent pictures, though very good they were.

The detail is very thorough, with the exact footage of the silent films noted, as apparently this is how they were measured, not by hours and minutes. So I am able to say with confidence that the truly obscure Danish silent, called 'Den Forklędte Guvernante'(the bogus governess) made in 1910, was 1050 feet long and stared Otto Lagoni as Holmes. The factual details, however are far from dry reading. The light conversational manner in which it is written, leads one along, page after page. Somehow making the most obscure films interesting, with interspersed assides, as though Barnes is sppeaking face to face with a fellow Sherlockian. Which, lets be honest, if you buy the book, he probably is. On the whole, well worth buying, and for me a constant ready, and reliable refference.
