Sherlock Holmes (Barrymore) meets Moriarty (DVD excerpt)

http://www.kino.com/video/item.php?product_id=1190
When a young prince is accused of a crime that could embroil him in international scandal, debonair supersleuth Sherlock Holmes comes to his aid, and quickly discovers that behind the incident lurks a criminal mastermind eager to reduce Western civilization to anarchy. Adapted from the hugely popular stage version of Arthur Conan Doyle¹s stories (by William Gillette), SHERLOCK HOLMES not only provided Barrymore with one of his most prestigious early roles, but also presented the screen debuts of two notable actors: William Powell (The Thin Man) and Roland Young (Topper). SHERLOCK HOLMES was mastered from a 35mm restoration by the George Eastman House Motion Picture Department, and is accompanied by a score by Ben Model, performed on the Miditzer Virtual Theatre Organ.

John Barrymore was such a handsome man.

it's a fortunate thing that we all can even view this movie. It was lost for over 50 years. Then in the 70s it was rediscovered disassembled in bits & pieces of rolled film. The director Al Parker was still alive in the 70s & assisted in the film's reconstruction, a lot of it from memory. Parker died in the late 70s. Kino at least marketed the reconstructed film on DVD, (this is a clip from that DVD), but gosh I wish they would get rid of that huge logo.

I haven't seen this version yet by Kino but I notice that it only runs for 85 mins. the Videobrary version I have is 103 mins. Anyone know if any scenes missing or just been speeded up?

I was able to view this movie thanks to TCM airing it during their Sherlock Holmes movie marathon Christmas Day 2009. It's pretty good.

GASP! I have never been able to get a hold of this film! I thought it was "lost"! Have to get it now!

[PasionesComoMio]

I agree with dglekjofg. John Barrymore was smokin'.
