John Barrymore as Sherlock Holmes
from the collection of the
George Eastman House Motion Picture Department
When a young prince is accused of a crime that could embroil him in
international scandal, debonair supersleuth Sherlock Holmes comes to his
aid, and quickly discovers that behind the incident lurks a criminal
mastermind eager to reduce Western civilization to anarchy.
Adapted from the hugely popular stage version of Arthur Conan
Doyle¹s stories (by William Gillette), SHERLOCK HOLMES not only provided
Barrymore with one of his most prestigious early roles, but also presented
the screen debuts of two notable actors: William Powell (The Thin Man) and
Roland Young (Topper).
SHERLOCK HOLMES was mastered from a 35mm restoration by the George
Eastman House Motion Picture Department, and is accompanied by a score by
Ben Model, performed on the Miditzer Virtual Theatre Organ.
