Today I narrate Peter Cushing's thoughts on the rushed schedule of filming the 2nd series of the BBC Sherlock Holmes series, a role which he took over from Douglas Wilmer. Source: The Complete Memoirs of Peter Cushing. Today I narrate Eille Norwood's thoughts on his own take on Sherlock Holmes. From 1921 to 1923, Stoll Pictures produced a series of silent black-and-white films based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Forty-five short films and two feature-length films were produced featuring Eille Norwood in the role of Holmes and Hubert Willis cast as Dr. Watson with the exception of the final film, The Sign of Four, where Willis was replaced with Arthur Cullin. Today I narrate Basil Rathbone's thoughts on quantifying the standards of acting. Today I narrate Buster Keaton's thoughts on working with Charlie Chaplin on Limelight, a 1952 film. For those curious, Keaton does qualify for my Musings of The Classic Sherlock Holmes Actors series, by having been the star and creator behind the film, "Sherlock Jnr." Charlie Chaplin, by extension, is also a Holmes actor too, having played Billy The Page boy in Stage productions for H. A. Saintsbury and then William Gillette. Today I narrate Peter Cushing's thoughts on his, leaner than normal, look when 1st playing Sherlock Holmes. Professional commitment? Or happy coincidence?  Today we are excited to be publishing a brand new essay by Howard Ostrom. "Holmes Was a Dummy" explores the wonderful wooden (and felt) world of Sherlock Holmes inspired puppetry. Don't be a muppet, check it out today!
