Where Did I Come Up With All This Amazing Information?,
By
This review is from: The Films of Sherlock Holmes (Paperback)
Question: What famous fictional detective has been the subject of motion pictures since the very beginning of the 20th century?Answer: Sherlock Holmes; the first Sherlock Holmes film called "Sherlock Holmes Baffled," was one minute in length and was filmed in 1900. Question: What famous fictional detective has appeared in more movies than James Bond and Indiana Jones combined? Answer: Sherlock Holmes, of course. Question: What famous fictional detective has been seen on screen in almost as many disguises as Lon Chaney, "The man of a thousand faces?" Answer: You guessed it, Sherlock Holmes. Question: What famous fictional detective has shared an on screen ride with Sigmund Freud, foiled a Nazi plot that might have cost Britain the war, and saved the life of a United States Senator? Answer: If you guessed Sherlock Holmes again, you're right. Getting bored? Just a couple more. Question: What fictional detective has been portrayed on screen by (among dozens of others) John Barrymore, Raymond Massey, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Nicol Williamson, Stewart Granger, and, of course, everyone's favorite, Basil Rathbone? Answer: I realize this is a real tough one so I'll give you a couple of hints. His first name is Sherlock and his last name is Holmes. Okay, one last one. Question: What fictional detective was the father of forensic methodology in the analysis of evidence? Surprise! Sherlock Holmes. Where did I come up with all of this amazing information? Why from THE FILMS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, of course. THE FILMS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES devotes anywhere from a page to a chapter to almost every Sherlock Holmes movie known to man. Each book segment contains discussions of the film, the actors who starred, and a historical perspective discussing time, place, etc. There are enough still photographs to satisfy the most avid Sherlockian. For the Sherlock Holmes fan and/or for the film buff, this book is a font of information. For the rest of us, it's pretty darn entertaining.
