Dear Sherlockians,
Are you aware of the fact that Sherlock Holmes is the single
most frequently filmed fictional character with almost 200 film
appearances to date. Only Dracula comes close to matching his record.
The first known film featuring Holmes is Sherlock Holmes Baffled, a
one-reel film running less than a minute, made by the American Edison
company in 1900. The next significant cycle of Holmes films were
produced by the Stoll Films company in Britain. Between 1921 and 1923
they produced a total of 47 two-reelers, all featuring noted West End
actor Eille Norwood in the lead with Hubert Willis as Watson.
Many other films loosely based on Sherlock Holmes stories have been
released.
I wish the Bollywood Film Industry would make a movie on Sherlock
Holmes solving a case in India
