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!
