    THE DISTRICT MESSENGER The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 41 Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE no. 154 30th September 1995 Jeremy Brett died on the 12th September, not of a broken heart, but of an overworked heart. He had come to terms with his precarious condition, and knew that his only chance of cardiac stability was a heart transplant, an option he had considered and rejected. The cardiomyopathy was not correctly diagnosed until comparatively late, but it was this rather than his manic- depression that made his later performances as Sherlock Holmes so uneven, though the tabloids made the most of the latter. Jeremy Brett played Holmes in 41 television productions and one stage play. For more than three- quarters of the time he was a great Sherlock Holmes. In Pace Requiescat. The next issue of The Sherlock Holmes Gazette will be a Jeremy Brett memorial issue. Look out for it. Admirers of John Doubleday's famous statue of Holmes in Meiringen, Switzerland, will be pleased to learn that the sculptor has been persuaded to produce a miniature version in cold-cast bronze on a mahogany base. The height of the statuette, without the base, is 6½” (160mm), and the price is a maximum of £77.55 including VAT (plus postage of £4.45 = total £82.00). It's available from Albert Kunz, 20 Highfield Road, Chislehurst, Kent BR7 6QZ (phone 01689 836256). Cheques should be payable to A. Kunz; they won't be cashed until the statuettes are sent out.

    THE DISTRICT MESSENGER The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 41 Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE no. 156 4th December 1995 Sir Robert Stephens died on the 12th November. We who treasure that wonderful idiosyncratic film The Private Life of SherlockSherlock Holmes were put in our place by the obituaries, all of which dismissed it as a resounding flop. Stephens flourished mainly in the theatre, and he did actually play Sherlock Holmes on stage, in Toronto in 1976, in the RSC production of William Gillette's play. Like his friend Jeremy Brett, he really hit his stride in the last ten years of his life, especially as Falstaff and Lear. He was knighted last January. Lady Stephens was among the many friends and family who attended Jeremy Brett's memorial service last Wednesday at St Martin-in-the-Fields. The Sherlock Holmes Society of London, the Northern Musgraves, the BSI, the ASH, the Arthur Conan Doyle Society, the Société Sherlock Holmes de France, the Poor Folk Upon The Moors, and other groups were represented at the service, which was organised by Granada Television. Reports appeared in The Times and the Daily Telegraph the next day. Philip Attwell notes that plans to broadcast a tribute to Brett have been dropped, though BBC TV showed The Private Life last night in tribute to Robert Stephens. (*Last week's late film was the Hammer Hound of the BaskervillesBaskervilles; the Radio Times claimed that "Holmes scholars" regard it as the definitive version! I'd suggest that the BBC's own 1968 production, with Peter Cushing and Nigel Stock, more nearly fits that description.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

  • Not Your Grandfather's Sherlock Holmes
    d “nOt YOuR GRandFatHeR’S ­ SHeRlOCk HOlMeS”: ­ Guy Ritchie’s 21st Century Reboot of a ­ 19th Century british Icon ­ Ashley Liening Sherlock Holmes “has enjoyed the most vigorous afterlife of any fictional character” posits thomas leitch, adaptation scholar and author of Film Adaptation and Its Discontents (leitch 207). Indeed, a franchise has been built around Sir arthur Conan doyle’s quirky detective, so much so that Sherlock Holmes has become one of the most adapted literary figures of all time, outnumbered only by Frankenstein’s monster, tarzan, and dracula (207). Clare Parody asserts, “Franchise practice has produced and surrounded some of the highest grossing and best-known fictional texts, characters, plots, and worlds of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries,” and Sherlock Holmes is no exception (211). From 1900 till the present day, Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed by “nearly 100 actors, in over 200 films, from more than a dozen different countries,” and it does not appear like “Sir arthur Conan doyle’s violin- playing, pipe-smoking, cocaine-injecting sleuth” is going any- where anytime soon (Cook 31). In fact, the twenty-first century has experienced a resurgence in more “straightforward” Holmes adaptations, namely bbC’s Sherlock (2010), which aired in three ninety-minute episodes and portrays a tech-savvy twenty-first century Holmes, and Guy Ritchie’s 2009 and 2011 35 ­ big screen adaptations, the latter of which will be the focus of this essay. I aim to explore the ways in which Guy Ritchie’s Sher­ lock Holmes (2009) adaptation, while inextricably bound to Conan doyle’s storytelling franchise, diverges from its prede- cessors in that it is not an amalgamation of other Holmes adap- tations.
