Title: Quite a disappointment
Product review: The author severely restricts his text to Holmes films we can actually see, which I suppose is all right, but it pales alongside Alan Barnes' Sherlock Holmes on Screen and Michael Pointer's The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes. Those books are much broader, providing chronological listings comments of ALL Holmes films. Both have manages to suss out some information on even the rarest of the silents, and of course, Barne's book is much more up to date,making it up to the Cumberbatch TV series. (Can you believe there have been at least four Holmes SINCE this recent show: Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary), Gary Piquer (Holmes & Watson: Madrid Days); Igor Petrenko in a new Russian Sherlock series and a fellow named Costas in Sherlock Holmes versus Frankenstein; and let's not forget the three cheapy knock offs made in the wake of the success of the first Downey picture: Ben Syder, Kevin Glazer and Anthony D. P. Mann.)At any rate, Steibrenner's book is quite a letdown.
