Items related to Sherlock Holmes on Screen
Sherlock Holmes has appeared on screen more times than any other fictional character. Created just before the birth of cinema, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective has drawn moviegoers across the world, and this guide covers over a century's worth of his exploits on film and television. This includes films from the silent era through the Basil Rathbone movies of the 1940s; films from France, Japan, Russia, Germany, and Italy; the films of Hammer Studios in the UK and Roger Corman in the U.S.; Billy Wilder’s 1970 film, Private Life of Sherlock Holmes; and many more. There are also television versions of Sherlock Holmes covered, including one directed by Steven Spielberg. Newly updated and with added material about Holmes productions from every part of the globe, as well 120 photos and a guide to the original stories, Sherlock Holmes on Screen is a testament to the enduring power of Conan Doyle’s celebrated creation.
