STAIRWAY TO BAKER STREET
By Howard Ostrom
Father Brown is a short Catholic priest, the hero of the stories of the English writer of the first third of the twentieth century, Gilbert Keith Chesterton. It is a pity that he is not often remembered, and filmed even less often.” Certainly every character in literature has appeared on screens less often than Sherlock Holmes, but how often has Father Brown, and similar men of the cloth for that matter, made compelling and fascinating detectives? I would lean towards more often, so let’s take a look.
The following men of the cloth all may be on the side of the angels, but don’t for one minute think they are not Sherlock Holmes. So we will present you with an ecumenical list of clerical mysteries presented on screens, any of which could be classified as a quasi Holmes production.
