Sherlock Holmes
1916 · 117 min · US
Directed by Arthur Berthelet
William Gillette, the stage Holmes for a generation, plays his own play once for the camera at sixty-two, and everything is his: the deerstalker, the curved pipe, the line about elementary, the way he sits. This is the Holmes everyone since has been quoting. It was thought lost until a print turned up at the Cinémathèque française in 2014. Arthur Berthelet for Essanay, Chicago, 1916, two hours.
