Silent Doyle Part One

Despite the title used here, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was not actually very silent at all, in fact he was rather vocal in expressing opinions .

But "Silent Doyle" actually refers to a brand new 4 part essay series from Howard Ostrom which examines the silent films adapted from Sir Arthur Conan Doyles non Sherlock Holmes related stories. 



Howards latest venture came about after noted Sherlockian, Peter Blau, commented on his ‘Silent Sherlock’ essay series and mentioned; “I won't expect instant action on my suggestion that you also consider exploring silent films of Conan Doyle's non-Sherlockian works . . . there are some . . . "House of Temperley" and "Brigadier Gerard" and "The Fighting Eagle" among them, and I'm sure there is much more to be discovered.”

Never one to falter when it comes to research of the Sherlock Holmes universe and all subsequent extensions, Howard took to the challenge with gusto - the results of which you will be able to read over the next few days.

And then they discovered talking.........


It has been quite an eventful ride these past weeks with Howard Ostroms amazingly detailed and well written series "Silent Sherlock" which he has managed to construct in an alarmingly short period of time to an extraordinary high standard. 


If you have been following it you have no doubt learnt a great deal about the era of "Si-lock" and who the players of it were. I would like to say a big thank you to Howard for his hard work on these and if you too have enjoyed them or have any comment of your own to make why not send him a message on twitter @HowardOstrom or via the contact form and I will pass it on. 



But now the moment you have all been waiting for - "Silent Sherlock" Part 20.

In the penultimate edition of Howard Ostroms "Silent Sherlock Series" we examine the year 1923. 

The year 1923 would give us fifteen more short films "The Last Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and one more feature film “The
Sign of Four”  from Stoll Pictures with Norwood. This gave them a grand total of forty-five short films and two feature films, and forever secured a place for Eille Norwood in the film history of Sherlock Holmes.

Silent Sherlock Part 17

In part 17 of Howard Ostroms fascinating "Silent Sherlock" essay series we take a look at the year 1921.

1921 was likely most notable for the many Eille Norwood productions that came out from it . Interestingly enough Norwoods film covered a series directly adapted from Doyles original tales, up until this point as we have seen, there had been a larger emphasis on entirely new stories, some of which were more loosely based than others. 


So for a studio to cover so many of the originals in one series was ...well... at the time.. fairly original!

Silent Sherlock Part 16

Part 16 of Howard Ostroms essay series "Silent Sherlock" takes us through the rest of the year 1918 up to 1920.

It includes examinations of such films as "Black Sherlock Holmes" - a burlesque styled Holmes film..believe it or not. 

"I Will, I Will, I Will" which saw one Sherlock Blake help a lazy man win the hand of a socialite’s daughter.

And "Pictograph 448" - not the most exciting of titles..but  it does feature a dog supposedly trained to perform stunts to show his power of deduction and reason like Holmes.....

Barking.

Silent Sherlock Part 15

According to some Sherlock Holmes researchers between the films “Valley of Fear” (1916) and the Eille Norwood, Stoll Pictures’ series (1921 -1923), there was a lull in the production of major Sherlock Holmes films. 

In part 15 of Howard Ostroms brilliant long running essay series "Silent Sherlock" he explains why he disputes this statement as we examine a large variety of Silent Sherlock films he has managed to uncover from the years 1917-1919.
