A remake of the very first appearance of Sherlock Holmes on the screen, directed by Arthur Marvin. The creators hadn't watched the original movie prior to making this, because they couldn't find it (it was made before YouTube days, despite released later). They used a plot summary from (now defunct) website holmesonscreen.com to write a screenplay.
As in the original movie (where Sherlock Holmes was portrayed by Anonymous), actor who plays Sherlock Holmes remained anonymous for a while, until it was revealed that he was Steven Dewhurst.
Released widely in the year of 110th anniversary of the original.
