A Study in Sherlock: Investigating On-Screen Versions of Sherlock Holmes

Описание: Since his first appearance in 1887, Sherlock Holmes featured in four full-length novels and 56 short stories. In the century and a half to follow, Sherlock would be portrayed countless times in the media, on stage, on the radio, and of course, on screen.

In this video, we explore why Sherlock Holmes, though not the first fictional detective on the screen, he has become the most portrayed (human) literary character in film and television, as recognized by the Guinness World Records. We also look at some of the most popular portrayals of the iconic character over the years, from William Gillette to Basil Rathbone, to Jeremy Brett, to Benedict Cumberbatch. Most recently, Sherlock is a secondary character in the 2020 film, Enola Holmes. There are hundreds of depictions of the detective that we’ve yet to explore, not to mention of John Watson, James Moriarty, and Irene Adler.
