Maurice Elvey, George Ridgwell, UK 1921, 73mins
Silent pianists Neil Brand, Joanna MacGregor and Joseph Havlat provide the newly recorded scores in this fascinating BFI restoration. The series was sanctioned by Arthur Conan Doyle, who thoroughly approved of Eille Norwood as Holmes. Produced in the early 20s, it is the last significant work in the Sherlock silent film canon to be restored. This programme features A Scandal in Bohemia, wherein Holmes falls for ‘the woman’; The Golden Pince-Nez, which features Holmes’ deductive powers at work, and The Final Problem, featuring the sinister Professor Moriarty.
