Silent Sherlock: Three Classic Cases |
'His wonderful impersonation of Holmes has amazed me,' said Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of Eille Norwood, the silent era star who made the sleuth his own.
The stage name of Anthony Edward Brett - who lived in Norwood, London - he was the star of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes silent series, which ran for 45 episodes.
Three stories, produced between 1921 and 1923, have been restored by the BFI, each with a newly-commissioned score.
A Scandal in Bohemia sees Holmes fall for a seductress.
The Golden Pince-Nez has the great man's deductive powers tested.
The Final Problem features his nemesis, the sinister Professor Moriarty.
Silent Sherlock is a brilliant addition to the canon - see how it influenced those that followed, including Benedict Cumberbatch. |
