SHERLOCK Holmes fans are being promised a most authentic depiction of the fictional detective, with the restoration of a century-old silent film series chronicling the London sleuth’s adventures.
Audiences were treated to a first glimpse of the restored works from the early 1920s at a London Film Festival screening recently, accompanied by a newly commissioned live score from Royal Academy of Music performers.
