Scott Lord Silent Sherlock Holmes: Sherlock Holmes Baffled (Marvin, 1900)

by noreply@blogger.com (Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Swedish Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film)

Author Ron Haydock, in his volume Deerstalker: Holmes and Watson on screen, is succinct in describing the first appearance of Arthur Conon Doyle's Sherlock Holmes on screen, "Directed by Arthur Marvin, Edison's Sherlock Holmes film was shot with only one set, and one strait-on full shot camera angle and can be viewed time and again without boredom. It's fast, entertaining and over before you would like it to be."
Author David Stuart Davies, in his volume Holmes of the Movies, The Screen Career of Sherlock Holmes, acknowledges as part of the consensus, and there seems to be no reference to the author Emil Gaboriau who wrote in 1868 in the films of Georges Melies, that an unknown actor in the 1903 film "Sherlock Holmes Baffled" from the American Mutoscope and Bioscope was the first on screen appearance of Sherlock Holmes and first adaptation of the cannon written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In regard to how early, Stuart Davies points out that it was filmed the same yeart that "The Empty House" was published in the Strand Magazine and I in fact would mention that in a discussion of The Cinema of Attractions/The Cinema of Narrative Integration that it was released the same year as "The Great Train Robbery" from the competing Edison Manufacturing Company. "The audience at seeing the film may also have been baffled, for the film has no recognizable plot and seems to be little more than a series of tableaux of a melodramatic nature without any real continuity."
