SHERLOCK HOLMES (1922)
Special Features: 100th Anniversary. Live musical accompaniment by Donald Sosin and Joanna Seaton. Introduction by Alan Rettig, The Red Circle of Washington DC
In this entertaining silent interpretation, "The Great Profile" plays the World's Greatest Detective, as screen legend John Barrymore chews the scenery as Sherlock Holmes and matches wits with archnemesis Professor Moriarty to solve a crime involving a blackmailed prince. Long thought a "lost" Barrymore film, a print was rediscovered in the 1970s by George Eastman House film curator James Card, with the restoration only completed in 2001. The cast includes Roland Young (TOPPER) as Watson and, in a supporting role, William Powell, both making their screen debuts. DIR Albert Parker; SCR Earle Browne, Marion Fairfax, from the play by William Gillette; PROD F. J. Godsol. U.S., 1922, b&w, 85 min. Silent with English intertitles. NOT RATED
