Here's the teaser for a (very !) low budget movie directed by Anthony DP Mann. I own the DVD and, indeed, the script is very interesting and conducted with the utmost respect for the canon. Anthony is a very kind, very modest and very likable man ! He also played Watson on the radio (and, as he humorously tells me: "I was more appreciated than in the role of Holmes"). :-) Passionate about cinema and 19th century literature, he also played Dracula, Scooge,The Phantom of the Opera and even William Gillette in a "biopic" on stage. I like his way of approaching what he loves with a camera, friends and very little budget. Anthony also directed a 25 minute version of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" but I haven't seen it. Continue, mon ami !!!

Good copy of this film made in 1911. Lagoni is a clumsy and uncomfortable Holmes in action scenes. But the film exudes a certain charm, with people looking at the camera or painted sets. :-) Note the "retracted" tablecloth, decades before Jeremy Brett. :-)

I'm really curious to know what you think about the performance of this Hollywood Legend in the part of Holmes. OK, the TV Movie is very Cheap ! Ok, the moor is smallest than a garden in town. Ok , London is composed with the sets of the "Universal village" and seem issued from "The Wolf Man" with Lon Chaney JR. But, personnaly, I like Granger ("Scaramouche" !) in the part. My only regret is Granger was became to old (and a litle to chubby). But I dream of a major Sherlockian movie with Granger in the fifties. Sorry for my broken English: I'm Belgian. :-)
