I am trying to make a list of Sherlock Holmes movies and TV shows.
Of the ones I know off the top of my head are:
14 Rathbone/Bruce films
2 Ian Richardson films (Hound of the Baskervilles, Sign of Four)
Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother
PBS Mystery Series - Adv. of S.H. (just started)
7 Percent Solution
If anyone knows of any more, let me know and I'll summarize to the net.
Include dates if you know them.
thanks

Here is the list of movies that I've found so far. There are also
references in Baring-Gould's Annotated Sherlock Holmes. I have not had a
chance to check this out and will update the list sometime soon. Anyone
know of any more?
BTW, I missed taping the first 2 adventures from the PBS Mystery! series,
namely "A Scandel in Bohemia" and "The Adv. of the Speckled Band". Did
anyone get these on video tape? I'd be interested in making copies and
would compensate for any trouble. Please send me mail, thanks.

I seem to recall a silly made-for-TV movie starring Larry Hagman as a modern-day policeman who thinks he is Sherlock Holmes. His female psy- chiatrist (Dr. Watson, naturally) refrains from "curing" him so that he can solve some baffling mystery. The mystery itself mercifully escapes me, but it was probably one of those typically TV mysteries where the first person they meet is the criminal and everybody knows it except the people in the movie. Oh, by the way, the reason Hagman thinks he is Holmes is because he's reading A. Conan Doyle when his motorcycle falls on his head! Seriously! --Steve Blore, in-house detective at KAOS radio, Denver
